You have hit the nail on the head, G.P.girl. That is EXACTLY what this is like. Apparently, we are slow learners. Fifty or a hundred years ago people thought their little worlds would crumble if they had to live in the same county with an inter-racial couple. Marriage was forbidden, people were lynched, babies were rushed off to orphanages in the middle night ... or worse.

In the 1960's, people said, "Seperate but Equal" ... put blacks in their own schools, their own swimming pools, their own restaurants. As long as it's seperate from what we have, it's ok. So wrong. So very, very wrong. The very fact that it IS seperate MAKES it unequal.

Now, here in the 21st century we have people saying "Seperate but Equal" .... let homosexuals live together is they must, but don't let them get married or have joint custody of children, or sit with their dying partner in the hospital. Again ... the very fact that it IS seperate MAKES it unequal. A civil union is NOT the same as a marriage.

Homosexuality is the last bastion of the bigot. It's not politically correct anymore, or socially acceptable, to be outwardly prejudiced against people of a different race, or against women, or the handicapped. But it's still acceptable to say that homosexuals do not deserve the same rights as everyone else. Slow learners we are.
