Gay leaders nationwide should have had this level of outpouring prior to the election to assist our California friends and relatives who needed the anti-Prop 8 vote in full force. It is miserable being on the defensive regarding what should be a civil right. For those who disagree with me, read the majority opinion of the California Supreme Court which issued its opinion back in June, 2008.
