Title: Why We Fight....
Post by: Atavist on May 09, 2012, 03:10:00 pm

Friend of mine emailed me these links. Given the way things are going, and may well continue in the near future, I thought I'd share them with the members here.
We need to remember that the fight is not over yet.

Sorry about the size.

Same here.  It pissed me off and it's just a cartoon.

That's all I can say right now.

Limiting what legal actions a person can undertake based upon his or her sex is discrimination and an embarrassment to the United States. If rhetoric is to be preached about freedom and equality then it can only be of due course to enact such.

Yes, it is sad, but there is more to it than that.

The politicians who make opposing gay marriage a campaign issue are the type of people who care about mobilizing discrete blocks of voters, regardless of who they hurt.  It is roughly analogous to how many politicians, especially in the South, came out in favor of segregation in the aftermath of Brown v. Board of Education.  They know their base and they want to keep their cushy government jobs (regardless of whether they say they are "anti-government"), so they pick a scapegoat and demonize them.
