Prop 8 Celebration Party

Tuesday night after we had done all we could do to "get out the vote" a group my friends decided, on a whim, that we should go to the Yes on 8 celebration party that we had heard about in downtown Sacramento. We had such a good time! It was a small gathering, but it was definitely inspiring to be there with a group of people that believed as we did, to hear the announcement (when they felt comfortable enough to call it), and celebrate with everyone that had worked just as hard as we had to pass something we all beleived in so much was something I don't think I'll ever forget. Below are two pictures that Aaron captured live online of those that I went with. (I'll probably post other pictures later when I get them from my friend.)

P.S. Jaynie was interviewed by both local channel 3 and local channel 10. Ellen was interviewed by the Associated Press and her quote ended up in newspapers, on internet sites and on blogs across the United States.
