Truth to Power

Loving v. Virginia needed again

In 1967 the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Loving v. Virginia that the states ban on interracial marriage was illegal under the constitution. It wasn’t until 2000 that the last state to have laws banning the practice (Alabama, gee whatta surprise there) repealed them.

Yesterdays decision in New Jersey is but a small step toward making gays human beings under the law. The same as women. The same as minorities.

If you are angered by yesterdays ruling, simply put, you are wrong. You are attempting to force your “morality” on people you have never met, will never meet, and who don’t effect your life in the slightest.

You are wrong. You are ignorant. You will lose. You have always lost in the end. Mind your own damn business and save the rest of us the time, expense, and pain of defeating your intolerant and jealous asses.
