As printed in today's SF Chonicle, "The people fighting for (Prop. 8) talk about restoring traditional marriage," said attorney John Welch, who stopped at the 440 Castro bar to watch the returns come in. "But the right of two people of the same sex to get married doesn't take anything away from a straight married couple."

I completely agree.

We won!

It's with great pride that I carry myself with this morning. It's as if I'm taking a breath of fresh air for the first time in years. It's good to be an American.

Yesterday, only proved to me further that this presidential election wasn't ours alone, but the worlds. As you'll see in most of today's newspapers, this win is being celebrated by people from across the world because we all know about the hope that it brings. It's good to be a world citizen.

I'm completely in awe of knowing that we're living during a time that will hold a great place in US and world history. I'm thrilled to be alive and to see an African-American man become US president. Barack Obama will be our next president. It sounds so nice.

Here's to new beginnings...
