Gay Marriage Ban Approved

There's also this...

Why are people so worried about homosexuals getting married? It's just silly not to let people be happy together and get married. What kills me is that all these people are so up in arms about homosexuals not getting married that they seem to forget the HIGH DIVORCE RATE. They should sit around and try and resolve that problem before telling people who can marry who.

But how is it a "gay agenda" if it's the agenda of some folks who are gay pertaining their homosexuality?

Was the civil rights movement a "black agenda" or was it a civil rights agenda?

It think calling it a black agenda falsely implies that all blacks are proponents of the civil rights agenda. Whether or not that is mostly true, I think it is an erroneous statement to make.

Similarly, the agenda for civil rights pertaining to gays is hardly universal among homosexuals ... which is a big surprise and personal disappointment to me ... but I think it rules out calling this branch of the civil rights agenda the "gay agenda."

As for this unfortunate news from the Senate Committee, I find my disappointment more than offset by the judicial ruling in Georgia abolishing the gay marriage ban in that state. While the ruling had nothing to do with the merits of gay marriage (it was based on election irregularities), I find it comforting that justice seems mostly to come down on the side of, well, justice ... while I'm hardly surprised that politics seems mostly to come down of the side of barbarism.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks.

It was both. Blacks in the 60s (and other decades) absolutely had (have) an agenda to be equal to Whites. The fact that some Whites, Browns, Yellows, Greens, and Purples shared this agenda does not negate the fact that Blacks had it as well.

The word "agenda" is not a pejorative.

Yeah, he's already had his sphincter repaired once. Let's let him rest a bit.

All the more reason.
