You didn't expect the marriage amendment results to pass without hearing a victory speech from Chris Kluwe, right?

Kluwe wrote his thoughts to slate.com. "Together, we made a statement that America is tired of division," he said. "America is tired of discrimination, of exclusion, and of unthinking oppression — the belief that people have to live their lives according to someone else's views rather than their own free will."

Here's the rest of his post.

Earlier Tuesday, Kluwe did some college-hopping as part of the Vote No get out the vote effort.
