By now everyone knows that's how I voted and I'm happy to say that all of my friends voted No also, unless you didn't say you voted yes. I'm sorry to see that No One 1 has pretty much lost. My family and I predicted that, but we had hope anyway. It breaks my heart to see that there is still so much inequality, but I won't lose hope. I am, afterall, an optimist.
I may not be a lesbian or bisexual, but I know what it's like to be a minority and my people are still fighting for equality. Everyone deserves equal rights. It will take a long to to achieve that, but every day we work toward it is one day closer. This isn't the end. There will be more chances to vote for equality. Getting angry is not the answer. Why would the opposition listen to angry people who are ranting about their feelings? We must continue to organize and be patient. We must understand what makes them believe being homosexual and giving homosexuals equal rights is wrong, before we can show them why it is wrong. Don't be angry with all of Maine because many people here support equality. Don't be angry. Learn and keep your courage up.
Optimism is a key to success.
