Thanks, Amy, for this post.

I have heard almost nothing about Prop 8 since the election, for many reasons, I suppose. Obama’s win was so historical that it was the sole news of the day. And of course not all of the votes in California are counted, so the results are not official.

I also think Prop 8 stayed out of the news because it points to an unfortunate truth: a lot of Obama supporters are homophobic. Obama won California by a huge margin, twenty-four percentage points, so no one on the Left can blame the apparent success of Prop 8 on those demons, the Republicans.

There has been a delusional narrative during this election: if you support Obama, you will be cleansed of your ability to oppress others. Gone is your racism. Sexism no longer matters, and it is impossible to hurt the poor anymore. The only people in the country who need to learn something are those white trash b**ches and racists who, as a voting block, didn’t support Obama.

Now that the election is over, I hope we can come together in the real world where everyone needs work.

What happens when a disordered, troubled group
…is a majority? Strange.
