The New York Times got it right today. In an op-ed piece entitled What It Felt Like to Be Equal, Judith Warner talks about the passing of Prop 8 from the perspective of a straight person. She saw the passing of Prop 8 and the other bans passed in Florida, Arizona, and Arkansas, as oh well, too bad. Not realizing that a right had been recognized, and almost as quickly taken away. Then she started getting emails from people and had her eye's opened. As one of the emails stated,
“I don’t feel equal anymore. It was a great feeling, while it lasted.”
