Precisely. Legislatures are wasting time
not paying any attention to gay lobbyists, but
instead cowtowing to Christianist lobbyists pressing
for yet more discriminatory legislation to "protect"
marriage.

don't mistake the causal chain: the lobbying of christians against
gay marriage is a response to the pro-gay-marriage lobbying by gays.
thus, they are responsible for that, too.

No, if you're going to go causal chaining like that,
you're right back at square one, blaming the slaves for
complaining about slavery, blaming modern-day blacks
for complaining about discrimination, etc. No matter
how much you deny it or try to dance around it.


Ecuating sexual perversion to ethnicity is an insult to anyone of any
minority ethnicity. How very white guilty of you.
