Prop 8

So today, according to Advocate Magazine, the people fighting for the repeal of Prop 8 admitted defeat, saying they wouldn't be able to get the nearly 700,000 signatures (8% of the voting population in California) required to continue on. They have stated that they intend to try again in 2012 but that is a long ways from now and honestly I'm peeved off. Wtf is wrong with this country? Not just this country, this planet?
