| | Sigh. Well. Yeah.
I'm not sure what to say. Last night was a pretty sad night. I'm happy that the Dems have control of the House and probably the Senate. Nancy Pelosi, a self-described feminist from San Francisco is going to the first woman Speaker of the House. Good good.
But it's not enough to really lift my spirits today.
Di and I stayed up until 2 am watching election returns. So today we are tired and a little cranky, in addition to being severely disapointed.
It is tough to loose something that you never really had. And it is tough to be declared inferior by a bunch of people who don't know you and have no idea what it is like to be you. It is tough to feel like an entire subset of the population hates you or distrusts you or thinks that if they let you in the door, you're going to burn the building down by your presence.
But then again, it makes it easier. It removes the possibility of ever moving back to WI after grad school, even Madison. I can't handle living in a place where the love of my life is considered nothing, my family is ignored, and my children are nothing to me. I just can't live there. Minnesota doesn't have gay marriage, but they don't constitutionally ban it either.
So onward to the future. |
