That .gif is mesmerizing. And great.
Yes the victory is truly bittersweet if Prop 8 passes… it would mean that society has not progressed as far as so many have hoped. I am desperately hoping that people will choose love.
Props notwithstanding, I can’t even begin to describe how much I love that animation. (Especially Joe Biden.)
That is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen….
That is absolutely fantastic…
I’m angry. Prop 8 means a lot. I guess I had priced in the Obama win a month ago, because this morning I’m just pissed. Those are real human beings, people! They just want the right to do what het folks take for granted!
Shit.

This is hilarious. Biden especially.
Looks like Biden got him some scoliosis from sitting awkwardly in the backseat.

Yeah, it’s looks like Prop 8 is going to pass after all.

My heart aches for all the people in America who are being affected by this. I’m so sorry.
It’s too bad about Prop. 8, but relationships and marriages come and go and with it the privileges that come with marriage. Best to protect yourself with all the other legal tools out there, and for the large percentage of queer folks not in couple, be sure to complete a living will and select a legal guardian in case you are incapacitated.

That’s fucking hilarious! I love the “serious funky dancer” expression on Michelle Obama’s face!
