An 1876 law is showing up in Kanas and Arizona. Separate but equal was the law of the land in many states when Jim Crow was alive.Blood was spilled trying to end these
laws.
I have no idea why in 2014,people are even DISCUSSING not allowing people
into their place of business because they are Gay. In Washington State a florist would
not supply the flowers for two men who wanted to marry each other. The owner is religious and doing business with these folks would offend her. I would suggest she REALLY read her bible.
I go to lunch all the time with two men. I have told both I love them. I mean I love and
care for them. I would do anything to make their life easier. Both are ill.
I am not Gay,but telling a friend you love and care for them does not make you "less"
of a man. I suggest it makes you a loving and carring one.
New laws like these will be deemed illegal by a higher Court. Why in 2014,are Republicans taking time to try and shove our humanity and morality back to an ugly
and evil time in our history? I bet someone will try and make black and white people
from marrying each other illegal will be on an agenda in some state soon.
This era in time,feels like it might have felt in Germany in the 1930 era. Jewish people
were treated in a barbaric manner. The rest of the population did nothing to help.We
have to learn from history and not make the same choices, Gay rights is the new civil rights issue in out time. Religious folks need to learn THEY can marry anyone,and practice any type of life that does not harm others.
I will never grasp the arrogance of people who feel I should practice everything they do. God gets to judge us,period.
The National Association of Black Veterans was the group that got me into the Veterans
hospital,did all my paper work which allowed me to receive disability payments. I was
working for a friend,who is black. He grabs me bythe arm and pulls me into their store.
I remember asking how they could help a white fool like me. He looks at me for a moment,not grasping my question. Finally he said,"we only help ugly and stupid
people". "YOU" fit those qualifications. I took no offense.
If YOU are a Republican,(your probably not reading this)you own these new laws,Ted Nugent,The Montana Republicans calling our President"s wife a whore. You only watch
Fox. I would be embarrassed to belong to such a group.
I dream for the day when color,and sexuality,are not part of our national disscussion.
