Republicans really do hate gay people

[Guynemer]

Someone is finally starting to recalibrate the Wiggy login, thank goodness.

[Wiglaf]

Has there been a decade in the last 100 years where there hasn't been some major 'social equality' movement? Think about it. White males are finally having one.

[Guynemer]

Yes. Every day, my life is made harder and unfair simply by virtue of being a white male. If only I had been born black, my life would be so much easier.

[Wiglaf]

You're not gay, so you do the next best thing to be a part of the movement: You feel deeply offended FOR gays.

People need to take a deep breath and realize that been ornery all the time hurts the economy.

[Guynemer]

You're not gay,

That's where you're wrong, mon ami. Galnemer is a beard; it is okay, she's aware.

[Wiglaf]

The real fun is in predicting the next big social movement.

I suspect it will be Mormon polygamists trying to ride the gay pride wave. Or possibly Indians will team up with the elderly.

[Guynemer]

I have no problem with that.

Potheads, hopefully.

You'd be a Harvard Medical School graduate if you were black.

[MrFun]

You wouldn't, but the point is that you can. You have the right to marry a woman; it's your choice to exercise it.

It's meaningless that I have the freedom/right to marry a woman. It would in no way be part of my own "pursuit of happiness."

[MrFun]

Oh joy! I have the freedom to marry a person I would never want to marry in the first place, because there is no mutual attraction, and no romantic love.

[MrFun]

I still don't understand then, how anti-miscegenation laws are discriminatory. And yes, I understand that Kuci and others are arguing that such laws were discriminatory because it refused recognition of interracial marriages that fit the traditional definition of heterosexual marriage. But I disagree with that "reasoning."

As long as blacks were free to marry other blacks, where is the discrimination? If a black person was in love with a white person, and the two wanted to marry, anti-miscegenation laws did not deny that black person the right to marry. The black person simply had to marry another black person.

Observation: the "pursuit of happiness" is mentioned nowhere in the Constitution.

[MrFun]

So yeah, anti-miscegenation laws denied blacks and whites from entering into traditionally defined heterosexual marriage, but blacks were still free to marry other blacks.

[MrFun]

I didn't say there was.
