Anyone else here remember when blacks weren't served in the front of restaurants? Same food, but not the same service, and that practice was brought to a halt.
IMHO, I don't agree with the gays are the new blacks argument. I'm not fully convinced being gay is natural. Being black is. Furthermore, the government that they want to involve is the same government that upheld slavery, separate but equal, and putting Americans of Japanese decent in internment camps. When will people learn that government is not the answer? Hell, if the gay movement wasn't such a liberal movement that seeks to centralize power whenever possible, they probably wouldn't have to go to MA to get married because instead of asking the government for permission, they'd tell the government to go eff themselves, you can't tell me who I can or can't marry. I think a lot more people would be behind the movement if it took that approach.
