Responses to Proposition 8

There have been countless responses to Proposition 8 on the blogosphere. It's hard for me to feel anything but angry and hurt, but there are plenty of more constructive thoughts floating around. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Tom Toles' political cartoon
• From Margaret Cho's blog: Keep Your Bullshit out of My Sky
• The Bilerico Project: Today is the day but I'm angry instead
• Amy offers some personal insight.
• Lesbiatopia: Forward. Backward.
• Dr. Marty Klein's Sexual Intelligence blog: Dear President Obama: A Sexual Rights Agenda, Please
• A bumper sticker: Welcome to California
• Herndon Davis: LGBT Community Must Blame Itself Not Blacks for Prop. 8
• Los Angeles Times opinion, by Jasmyne Cannick: No-on-8's White Bias

It's interesting to think about the differences, intersections, and politics of the GLBT culture and African-American culture in the United States. I feel uncomfortable even phrasing it that way, because I know there's not one definable GLBT or African-American culture. If anything, the situation emphasizes the social discrepancies and inequalities that both communities continue to face, and the long road ahead for equality.
