I don’t expect every disenfranchised minority group to recognize that other minorities are in exactly the same position that they are in. We see racism between racial and ethnic minority groups all the time even with groups who really “ought” to be on the same side. So sorry, but I don’t much care how many black voters do or don’t support gay marriage. I see it as a fundamental civil right and I’m not okay with bull**** watered down civil unions for gays as long as there are some people who will get to call themselves married. Didn’t we learn a long time ago that separate but equal is inherently unequal?

Except no one is calling for “bull**** watered down civil unions.”

Currently the only dissenting opinion in this thread up until right now has been me, and I’ve said repeatedly I support equal rights within civil unions, and that heterosexual marriage should be called civil unions too.

Do you read opposing posts?
