same shti different day.
republicans use the division of class, religion, and race to divide.
its nothing new.
anyone that says anything good about Ronald Reagan should be reminded of his actions in 1964 with Goldwater and the campaign against blacks.
now republicans are against gays.

As a matter of fact - that was one of the examples they used. There was an interracial couple married in one state that allowed it & they had travelled to another state for some reason and in the middle of the night, they find cops in their room with guns pointed to their heads for 'marrying the wrong race' - turns out it was illegal in Virginia (I think that's where they travelled to). Anyhow, they faced jail or they had to leave the state. They left and took the state to court after court until the supreme court judge (I believe) said it wasn't the states business to allow/disallow interracial marriages.
One of our Prime Ministers (P.E.Trudeau) changed the laws in Canada, where the government has no business in your bedroom. The marriage of gays and lesbians has become a showcase for the political parties to seperate the voters again.
I'd actually like to see stats of 'breakups' of the married/committed gays/lesbians compared the heterosexual couples. Perhaps the gays/lesbians are actually keeping their vows more 'sacred' that the regular folks.
I actually become freightened of people who won't take the time to dissect what is fed to them by people with a very obvious agenda.
