Adding Fuel to the Fire

[khaosworks]

To those who don't understand why I find the position of people who support the word "civil unions" for same-sex couples almost as intolerable as those who say that marriage for the same should be banned, or for those who require some clarification or understanding to why the naming is important even if the benefits are the same.

Here's three words.

Plessy v. Ferguson.

Doesn't right a bell? Three more words.

Separate but equal.

We like to think we've grown somewhat beyond that since 1955.

As far as I can tell, Kerry's position has always been that he opposes gay marriage but is in favor of equal protection and benefits for same-sex civil unions. He also opposes any legislation that will enshrine a "one man-one woman" definition of marriage or discriminate against homosexuality.

As for happening... well, I've not been commenting on politics for a long time. Several people have said they miss my ranting. :-) I stopped because I just couldn't get up the energy to get pissed off anymore about stuff.

But I figure, with the run-up to the election, it's time to start ranting again. Even though I can't vote, I can sure as hell try to exhort people to get the Shrub out of power, for the sake of both America and the rest of the world.

And part of it is to stave off boredom while I am working...
