Gloating over California General Election 2010 Results

Ha! The author of Prop 8, Andy Pugno, was drummed out of town covered in tar, feathers and shame. Gay-hater Meg Whitman and took Carly Fiorina with her. LGBT HERO Gavin Newsom, who let us wed in 2004, was elected Lieutenant Governor. Lots of other successful races around the state. What do they have in common? One issue: the losers were all Opponents of Equality.

The voters are awake, and they regret spending their time and money attacking their fellow citizens when they could have been building a better California.
