Prop 8 passes in CA, a step backwards for Trinogamy

Overall the election resulted in very favorable outcomes, with one exception - a certain forgotten minority, namely GLBT persons and their partners. Not allowing marriage, civil unions, or other benefits (adoption of children, etc.) for gay/bi couples is a step in the wrong direction for America.

How are we to progress as a society if our relationships cannot progress to be flexible and reflect our new family values? How can we respect a president of a different race if we cannot even respect our friends and neighbors enough to grant them the same basic rights as everyone else?

As for Trinogamy, it will take years once same-sex unions are recognized before the majority of Americans will accept committed relationships between three people. We have a long way to go, but I am confident that things will turn back in the right direction soon!
