Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses
That took a Civil War and more, Civil Rights Act for one, school busing, another, a long list, before becoming applicable. And today it is still not self evident.All adults have a right to be free and treated as equals. Governments don't decide who has rights, they determine who has rights under the law. Blacks and women in the USA did not have their rights recognized by the USA's government, but they always had rights.
"...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...."
