Since the "white" people was the majority back then, "black" shouldn't have fought for equal rights?
Racial discrimination and segregation was the unequal treatment of a people based on how they simply looked like because that's just how they look like. Someone is born black because they are black. You don't need a biologist of geneticist to explain why someone is black because you can see with the eyes. A black person cannot change this fact. It was wrong to exempt black people from certain things just based on how they look like.
With gays...uhhhhh, do we have to go over this again? No one is born gay. An infant isn't born and people say "Look ma! You got a gay one!" Like I said, what if I can't help myself and just start walking backwards? Who are you to say that I don't have the "walk backwards" gene? You normal walking people should have to put up rear-view mirrors at every street corner to accommodate me! Who are you to say that this isn't how I was born?!!!
(and instantly, dogmai imagines himself beating my ass for the idiocy of "walking backwards" gene)
BTW, gay couples choose to identify themselves as a married couple.
And marriage is possible through the creation of its institution in which society says what marriage is, what the symbol of marriage is, how marriage affects property rights, children rights, etc. Take away human society and culture, and there is no marriage. What you have are a species of homo sapien sapien just fukking each other and producing offspring.
So what makes gays so special that they can redefine and revamp the institution of marriage? If it's hospital and prison visitation rights, fight for that. If it's right to property and assets if a gay partner dies, fight for that. If it's the right to power of attorney, fight for that. What is it with marriage that gays want?
You and I are Hmong and you know damn well that there are a shit ton of Hmong people that are married in the culture, essentially a civil union, and don't have legal marriage license. So why aren't you fighting for Hmong marriages to have the same rights as a state-acknowledged legal marriage? Somalian weddings are essentially the same as Hmong weddings. Why aren't you fighting for the state to recognize Somalian weddings so that they can visit their wives in hospitals and have the right to their property should the spouse die?
Oh I know why.
BECAUSE IT'S NOT HIP, COOL, AND NEW-AGE TO FIGHT FOR RECOGNITION OF HMONG AND SOMALIAN WEDDINGS. BUT OH, IT'S FUKKEN HIP, COOL, AND NEW-AGE TO BE IN SUPPORT OF GAYS AND FIGHT FOR GAY MARRIAGE. This has nothing to do with equality because if it was, you wouldn't leave Hmong, Somalian, and Burmese (Karenni) marriages in the dust and just focus on gays. Because where it stands, many Hmong persons, if their spouse ends up in the hospital brain dead and the in-laws hate their guts, they would have NO RIGHTS to visit their spouse or retain ownership of property and assets. We've seen this happen sometimes with Hmong women and they get to retain shit that their husband owned. If you were about equality, why aren't you fighting for Hmong marriages?
