Homophobia: Fun Fact

[JakeStarkey]

I heard of an incident where some good ol' boyds had to convince a guy like Sunni Man back in western Louisiana that if he beat his sixteen year old girl again for listening to rock and roll that he would be in for a very, very rough time. I am glad he finally learned. He was also put on insurance bond in district court that he could not move the children out of the district without the judge's foreknowledge and approval. His passport was also removed for five years.

And this is why we have a Constitution…

Persons have every right to hate homosexuals, just as they have a right to hate African-Americans, Muslims, and Jews.

They have a right to express that hatred, protected by the First Amendment, unencumbered by government restriction.

They have the right to not practice homosexuality if so directed by their religion’s dogma, and to prohibit homosexuals, African-Americans, Muslims, and Jews from joining their religion or private organizations.

Persons may not, however, attempt to codify that hate, fear, ignorance, or racism; states and local jurisdictions may not enact measures that deem a class of persons a stranger to their laws.

Judging from the conservatives who have subscribed to this thread, the Constitution and its case law protecting Americans from the hate, fear, ignorance, and racism exhibited by many on the right is needed as much now as at any time during our Nation’s history.

And yet racism has been codified.

Affirmative Action.

Relaxed hiring standards for minorities.

All because white liberals believe minorities aren't good enough to succeed without the help of white liberals.

It's called "buying votes." It happens to work.
