Olbermann's special comment on Prop 8. KO's characteristic melodrama aside, I have to agree with him: it boggles my mind that this is an argument we are having as a nation, that there is anyone, anywhere, who could actually oppose marriage equality. I can't begin to understand it. I suppose I'm impatient—GLBT issues have made tremendous progress even since the 1990s, and in a few years this will all be (almost) over—but this is really a struggle I just wish we could skip to the end of.
At one point I was hopeful that Prop 8 would be the first big victory for our side. I'm still upset it wasn't. Keith is, in the end, right: this vote is horrible.
