Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses
Wouldn't it?
If the federal government hadn't stepped in, would Alabama still be segregated today? I seriously doubt it. Just because progress sometimes occurs more slowly in some places compared to others, doesn't give Uncle Sam the right to force-feed that progress upon an unwilling public.
You have to let things run their course, let people determine their own destiny.
When a large contingent of people and sentient horses protest their civil rights being infringed, I think we will seriously have to consider that.
I'm sure the people of Alabama would have appreciated their local government to decide about interracial marriage and having integrated schools. But that wouldnt be right, would it?
