I'm so thrilled that I lived to see and participate in this historic election -- yet sad for my country that civil rights seems to be a zero-sum game.

As I write this, Prop. 8 (which will reverse California's allowance of gay marriages) looks like it will pass. Arkansas (my home state) banned gay adoption.

As happy as I am about so many things, I'm sad about this.
