Quote Of The Day

"As excited as I was for Barack, who I've known for a few years through Hill Harper, I was really disappointed [about the passage of Proposition 8 in California, which bans gay marriage]. Especially when I heard that so many minorities, especially black folks and Latinos, voted for basically to legislate discrimination. As a people, we should know more than anybody what happens when you legislate discrimination. We just got over interning the Japanese. We just were able to marry who we wanted. So to kind of deny a whole group of people their rights at our hands, that was incredibly disappointing. We still have work to do. What Barack inspired in me was to get off my tail and if I don't like something and if I feel strongly about something, there can be change and your vote does count, your voice does count. Now that we've got him safely in office, I will now be jumping over to the 'No On 8' rallies over in California." — Gabrielle Union, liberal actress, discussing her reaction on Election Night
