beatriceeagleEven though Prop 8 is going to pass, I am still...happy. Beyond happy.
Because this morning, I walked into the weekly GSA meeting, and I said, "Proposition 8 is going to pass. And that sucks. But last night, this country elected Barack Obama. We can change. And we need to do something, to make that change."
And the president of the club said, "I've been wanting to talk about that. We need to do something." And so the twelve of us spent half an hour coming up with a game plan for school outreach, for school issues we're going to make a stand on and how we're going to make that stand, for raising awareness. Everyone has a role. Everyone is participating.
Later on, my friend said that she's still on a high. She feels like she can do anything. And I agree. I told her we have to hold onto that. Maybe it's just being seventeen and naive, but...we can change things. Give us a decade or so, and we will change things. All we have to do is hold onto a fraction of the energy that we had for Obama.
We can do this.
