Today in California we saw the Supreme Court uphold an unfair, unnecessary and outright bigoted law that further enshrines injustice into the State's constitution. It is a dark day and an even darker blemish on the beautiful road to freedom in a state that has always stood for fairness and lead the way in defining "Justice for All." 

But despite the setback that most of us knew would come today I couldn't be prouder to be a Califonian. I live in a state where my beautiful brothers and sisters have been allowed to wed regardless of who they love. We have continued to rattle the cage of inequality and we will not give up. It was an extraordinary thing to read how the Iowa justices quoted our own in its unanimous decision to allow marriage equality and I have NO doubt that we have not heard the last of California and its great people. 

For today, allow a spot of sadness for the fear that still drives so many to hateful action. For tomorrow take heart in knowing that our day is coming soon... of that there is no doubt. I love you,
