Well Done USA...

...and the world can breath a sigh of relief.

The first black President. That is historic indeed. The US has come so far in 50 years. Next the first black *woman* President, or even just female one!

Alas in California Proposition 8 (which aims to end gay marriage) is far too close for comfort with the Yes vote a little ahead. Similar propositions to end gay marriage in other states have already passed. If it fails in California then that's a bad set back for US gay rights.

I wonder if you'll ever see the day of the Lady President and her First Lady visiting foreign lands?

Given that 3 out of 4 white supremacists said "Better a nigger than a mentalist", it's not like the result is indicative of any progress, but rather of the sad state of American politics. As such, it's hardly surprising the backward inbred red neck hicks would try and wind back gay rights.

you can so totally tell that come next year Obama's going to announce his decision to grow breasts and go by the name of Shirley, don't you.

If only Heinlein were required reading in school... it's getting there, little steps. Pity about Proposition 8. I'd really hoped that wouldn't pass even though I don't live there.
