To Understand the Democratic Party’s Re-definition of Marriage - Follow the Money!

Yet, Bill...many citizens have been denied fair treatment on the basis of gender, color, religious background (Jew), and sexual orientation (which is as NEUTRAL to morality and social competence as gender and color). THAT is what makes injustice on the basis of orientation, wrong. Because sexual activity hasn't had to be in evidence for a gay person to be treated badly. Keeping marriage only between a man and woman isn't a guarantee of the quality of that marriage or parenting. So denying it for gay couples for all the reasons you state, isn't legal singly or collectively.

con't: black Americans engaged in a popular vote against a minority in this country are doing something they shouldn't for the very reasons THEIR lives weren't put up to popular vote. Just because they vote that way, doesn't mean they are RIGHT. Anymore than whites doing it during the Jim Crow era would have made whites right to do so. George Santayana was right in this instance. Miscegenation was rationalized by claiming children needed to have parents of the same race to thrive. Otherwise they would suffer. Such claims have no basis for mixed parents, anymore than the same for ss parents. It's having uncaring, neglectful and abusive parents that's bad for children. Gender and orientation makes no difference THERE.
