Two steps forward, one step back

While I am elated beyond measure about the presidential election, I am so disappointed that Proposition 8, and similar laws of hatred and intolerance, passed in California, Arizona and Florida. SHAME on those people -- so it seems we still do have a long way to go. Please visit this website that names all groups who donated 5000$ or more to Proposition 8; please considering banning, boycotting, protesting or writing letters to these organizations.
