can California please secede from the Union now?

I cannot believe that in the world we live in, these kinds of comments can be made at a political conference:

After all the time we spent fighting for women's rights and race equality, it sickens me to know that the exact same bigots that we fought against then are still alive and well. I used to thank God that I lived in a world where I was able to educate myself and make my own choices, and looked positively on how much progress society had made as shown through the present treatment of women. Now I fear that I have lost my former optimism, and I'm losing hope that things will eventually change, not just for the LGBT community, but for everyone. Even if we succeed in changing minds and hearts about gender and sexuality, people like this will always find a new minority to torture. I hope shame will eventually catch up to her.
