I'm pretty disgusted by the "states rights" defense of unequal marriage laws. Gays in Alabama shouldn't have unequal opportunities before the law just because they live in Alabama. I thought we learned this lesson in the aftermath of Brown.
That's the whole insane argument being made by the other side. Their right to prevent people from being equal is apparently more important than those peoples' right to be equal. It's a perverse and disgusting argument that the most conservative of America has used time and time again because they simply hate and distrust people who are not like them. First it was the Catholics, then it was the blacks, then it was the gays... and it'll go on and on and on. Great thing is that they lose every time.
I wonder who's next?
