Saw this here (bolding mine):

“When a judge rules that 66 percent of the voters in 2004 were irrational to approve the law they did, we want to push back,” Duncan said. “No we’re not irrational. We don’t hate anyone. We just understand marriage differently, and we think that’s a valid viewpoint in the public square.“


Now change just one term in that statement:

“When a judge rules that 66 percent of the voters in 2004 were irrational to approve the law they did, we want to push back,” Duncan said. “No we’re not irrational. We don’t hate anyone. We just understand "separate but equal" differently, and we think that’s a valid viewpoint in the public square.“


Yes, the old South thought they had "a valid viewpoint in the public square," too. For over 100 years.
