1.)Those states voted to uphold traditional marriage.
2.)They already have equal rights
3.) it's not a bad thing that others are allowed to vote and not have views
4.) and definitions that are wrong for their society thrust upon them by a minority or special interest groups. People voted, the outcome just isn't what some like and thus a persona of "inequality" is pushed when everyone did have an equal vote on an issue of social policy.
5.) As far as the last state goes, I'm not sure. Many of them have traditional marriage legal at their constitutional level, they would have to go through the process of amending their state constitutions to change that.
1.) as history proves and even recent history/current events voting to discriminate against people and deny them equal rights doenst work forever.
2.) this is factually not true as proved by rights, laws, legislation, ordinances, reality, court cases and court precedence and its proven wrong every time you repeat this fallacy.
3.) this is 100% correct until it infringes on others rights then thats where it ends and that is factually wrong and where when pushed it loses to equality like is happening right now
4.) this fallacy is also very entertaining since again all the stuff in #2 proves it wrong. Equal rights i being granted period.
Also while it doesn't matter i just like being honest and factual. Its not the minority and special interest groups pushing for equal rights, its the majority, civil rights groups, human rights groups, equal rights groups, many religions groups etc. You know all the groups that look out for laws and equality and freedom and civil/ legal/ human rights.
Its awesome the majority is coming around along with all those groups to protect those legal, human and civil right that are being denied to people.
But again since this is about legal, human and civil right being made into equal rights the majority supporting it doesn't really matter.
5.) also not true as things of that nature have already been overturned when pushed because . . . . . they were found to violate equality and or be unconstitutional even to its own constitution because typically they all refer to equality. Its only a matter of challenging it and the reality is, unless SCOTUS steps in first (which is another way to void the discriminatory state laws) the banns are actually going to help because they will be what is challenged to be unequal.
TO me that's the best part and poetic justice, the discriminatory and or bigoted laws/amendments that were made will be exactly what helps in the end. Especially in the states that were even stupid, bigoted or pro-discrimination enough to also ban civil unions and domestic partnership for same sex.
Sorry Digs but the writing is on the wall and equal rights is coming, yes i know your OPINION disagrees that its equal rights but its already been proven that this is. Equal, civil, human and legal rights are being granted and its awesome.
