You have absolutely NO IDEA what you are talking about. The fight for gay marriage has been going on since the 1970's and if you had bothered to research this instead of spouting off some bullshite you would know this.

The AIDS Crisis derailed gay rights for almost twenty years.

quote:
they are simply having solitary activist judges change the law, and I guess sort of "hoping" the culture catches up eventually.

So these are "activist judges"?

If that's the case that means over 90% of the federal judiciary can carry this title.

And the culture has caught up. Voters have already legalized gay marriage DIRECTLY in three states and it's been legalized through the legislature in many more. Just because places like the Deep South doesn't want to treat gays like equal citizens doesn't make it legal.

I really don't even know why I bothered to respond to this bunch of nonsense.

I said nothing to contradict this. This has no bearing. I didn't speak of the 1800s slave revolts or any black activism prior to the 1960s either.

Great. That's exactly what I'm talking about. But what about every other state?

Every individual person in the Deep South or elsewhere who opposes gay marriage does so for their own individual reasons. You're painting with a broad brush and falling into the same demonizing pattern I mentioned. So congrats.

There is no such thing as an activist judge or "legislating from the bench." These are bullshite buzz terms used by both sides that are attempts to confuse and take advantage of uneducated voters who do not understand the democratic process of a republic such as ours.

Whenever you hear the term "activist judge" or "legislating from the bench," you are listening to a retard or a liar.
