In reply to the discussion: Poll should the DNC move its Convention out of North Carolina [View all]Zorra
(27,670 posts)North Carolina had just voted in a constitutional amendment to keep it illegal for white people to marry.
No one here would have voted no. Everyone would be outraged at this heinous moral injustice, that another state legislated that white people were not allowed to marry.
Everyone that voted no in this poll may want to examine their conscience and motivations for this action.
You may not be the compassionate, progressive person you believe yourself to be.
It's very simple:
Not allowing someone to marry because the person they love is of the same gender/sex, is no different whatsoever from not allowing someone to marry because of the color of their skin.
Not allowing someone to marry because the person they love of is of the same gender/sex, is no different whatsoever from not allowing someone to marry because of the color of their skin.
If the DNC holds this convention in North Carolina, it will be a grievous insult to the GLBT community, and a hard cold slap in the face to every decent human being who believes in justice, and supports equal human rights for all.
Because it's for damn sure that if North Carolina had just voted to continue to keep whites, or blacks, from being able to marry, the Convention would already have already been moved to some place that did not actively persecute whites, or blacks, whatever.
