I’m exhausted. I’m trying to work on my Nanowrimo novel. I continue to face comments and questions about how progressive California is and how it’s just not possible that Californians would vote for a ban on gay marriage.
Below is a map taken from the website of the California Secretary of State. It shows how each county voted on the proposition. I have added the writing in red.
Let the map speak for itself.
How California Voted on H8
I have been watching with such sadness and great hope as thousands of Californians march, rally, demonstrate, and hold candlelight vigils to show their outrage at the continued prejudice against them and on losing a very basic civil and human right.
May hope, prayer, and justice prevail.

It’s like a microcosm of the country as a whole. And the rest of the West Coast is the same way, really. Oregon is only blue because Portland and Eugene overpower the rest of the state. In Washington, it’s Seattle that exerts the greatest influence. Rural areas are much more likely to be conservative. And the urban and rural areas can be pretty antagonistic toward each other. Although I’m a Democrat, and thus in the majority, I don’t think this is very healthy, either.
