Is that always important to you to have contradiction in personal interactions? No time for yous to smell the flowers and enjoy existence?And yet it was the KKK who destroyed themselves during a rally in which shots were fired, all done in the court system by being sued.The government can do nothing without the cooperation of society and citizens helping to enforce the law or abide to its terms.you assume no one would do that again but I don't.So then you want to go back to White only drinking fountains etc?I just can't figure out why you people care who another person is attracted to.
Life is short so if a same sex partner makes people happy who are any of you to stop them?
I don't care who they love. I do care that it is the law. Our society is dying the "death of 1000 cuts", and watering down marriage is simply one more cut.

I disagree.
Any and all citizens are entitles to all the legal protections as anyone else. Life for yous is never an easy day of flower smelling and appreciation of existence?
No time to smell the flowers and gratuities for existence?
What do you care if two same sex people marry so that the partners can receive all the protections we as a society have agreed upon?
What does it matter when it comes decisions like medical care, or health insurance if a married couple is same sex or not?
On your last question, I agree as long as you mean it's between you, your employer, your insurance company, whoever, but it's not government regulation. Government should stay out of it
So you want to get rid of all anti-discrimination laws?
Yes. Government should not be allowed to discriminate. But government has no legitimate power to control the relationship between private citizens. Talk about being a slave to government
We benefit more as an inclusive society.
The more people that are included the happier and more productive they are.
Well, that's a totally vacuous statement since you were completely vague about what you meant. So let's go back to what I said.
Government drinking fountains could not be white only. Parks, government buildings, government schools, none cold do that. I said that. Sure, privately owned drinking fountains could be. Not that anyone would do that other than maybe some redneck bar on Boonieville where blacks wouldn't really want to go anyway.
Even the Montgomery Bus Company opposed the laws that forced their most loyal customers to the back of the bus and to stand, it was terrible for business. Pick up a history book. And that was 50s Alabama.
Public accommodation laws are a sledge hammer solution to a non-existent problem. Only a true government loving leftist would ever look at the reality of those laws and support them
I have a feeling they would.
I don't find public accommodation laws to be a burden at all. And you might want to realize that the nonexistent problem you speak of is nonexistent because of public accommodation laws.
I just gave you the specific example that even in deep South Alabama the Montgomery Bus Company OPPOSED Jim Crow laws.
Note Jim Crow ... LAWS ... It was government that did that. And government is your solution to prevent it. See anything wrong with that at all?
The reason the racists went to government was to force people to do what they wouldn't do on their own. Think about it, else there was no reason to pass a law.
Then when the FBI started coming in and going after the KKK, they were inundated with tips from within the KKK. They were turning down people offering to help.
Turns out that while there was a lot of racism, most of the people didn't want to be lynching and burning crosses and terrorizing black families. But they were afraid the mobs would be turned on them if they spoke up
I like how you started with "and yet" then didn't say anything that contradicted anything in my post.
Here's a ball, Bart. Go play in the yard for a while. Look, it's bouncy ...
