Prop 8

I'm very glad that it passed!!! I am kinda bothered by something that happened today though.. I have a friend who has a sister that is a lesbian. I was just at my friends daughter's birthday party last weekend. We had fun and laughed quite a bit because my friends sister is also really funny and fun to be around. There was a no on prop 8 ad on TV while some of the dads at the party were watching a football game and she cheered. I didn't say anything. I didn't figure a birthday party was the place but also I very seriously doubt that she would change her mind. So after the ad was over we go on laughing about other things and having fun. Today after taking the kids to school I was on my way to a craft store to make some posters for enrichment night. I was in a way happy mood because my morning was going so well. Anyway, at a light my friends sister pulled up right next to me. I unroll my window with a huge smile and say "Hi" all loud and wave to her. She just looks at me and says What's up?? I'm still way huge smiling and happy to see her... Then she looks at me with this "I can't believe this!!" look on her face and says "Nice bumper sticker!!" Then turns to face the traffic light and wont even look at me. I couldn't believe it! What we are only friends if we agree?? Clearly I married Jeff...I have met her partner... Where is the surprise?? I was more then nice with her and let her have her moment when she was cheering.. I just felt like who is hating who?!?!?!? I'm pretty sure that she voted for Obama but I'm not taking that personally either. I'm hoping that she is just upset about the results this morning.. She can have this moment too... Hopefully we will be laughing at the next birthday party.
