This just in: my friends on the West Coast tell me that hundreds of LGBT folks and their friends are at The Music Box in Hollywood for the LGBT Election Night Party. It was looking very bad for Prop 8 when I last looked, but I'm being told it's still too close to call. How I don't want to remember this night as being bittersweet. (Arizona and Florida have passed measured to amend hatred into their constitutions, it would kill me if my beloved California did the same. I'm exhausted right now, so I will address that when we know where we stand.)Things were equally raucous here in New York City, where we could hear the cheers from Times Square all through the newsroom ...
UPDATE:
And here's a report from a spontaneous celebration in our nation's capital.

Lots of horn-honking in D.C., and Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House was packed. I thought of the flip side, the possibility of rioting if a clearly leading Obama somehow lost, but I never envisioned this.
