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?

No minority is discriminated against in the country. People just think that if something doesn’t benefit homosexuals, minorities, women then it is discrimination. Marriage is not a right. No where in the bill of rights does it say marriage is a right. Civil rights are rights IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT. NOT AN INHERITANCE RIGHT. So if gays want marriage rights the government has to give it to them. Since we are self governing we must vote on the issue.
