Fri, 08 Jan 2010 01:44:01 +0000 http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/?p=6638#comment-4191 i am appalled that in 2010 we are still debating whether people deserve equal rights. Today those 20 state senators who voted no opted to firmly place themselves on the wrong side of history. Make no mistake that in 20 or so years, people will be baffled that this fight was ever necessary in the first place. The same hollow and hateful arguments Fred Norton makes above were made in the 60s in defense of anti-miscegenation laws that prevented interracial marriages, and they are just as reprehensible and intellectually bankrupt today as they were then. I'm waiting for our Loving v. Virginia, because politicians, Republicans and Democrats alike, are simply too cowardly to support something they know is right but is controversial. I find it especially hypocritical Senator Jen Beck voted no, as it is well known in Monmouth County that she had an affair with a married man and broke up their marriage. Clearly she has deep reverence for the sanctity of marriage, and is in an appropriate moral place to be legislating morality. i am appalled that in 2010 we are still debating whether people deserve equal rights.

What would prevent two brothers or two sisters from saying they wanted to marry and to deny them that right was a denial of equality?
