Fair enough I guess I will step away from the sidelines.
First though.
@ AOII Angel.
Yes I understand that in the truest since yes they are ahead and we have lagged behind in putting law on books concerning the issue of gay marriage.
@ Preciousjeni
It's not controversial, it was a sideline comment just meant to garner responses. Not meant to be controversial but just input.
Now I get back to the person I quoted. I started this so I guess I will end it.
Not every conversation or comment is meant to be taken as part of the whole, just opinions on that said thing.
With that being said, okay yes other countries are ahead of putting a law on the book. Whoop di friggin do. What does that mean? Because they are first that means they are ahead.
Is everybody's mentality in respect to this topic so surface that all they need is a law on book to slap five and say we made it?
If that is the case, then yes per the surface my comment is QED and done, but what does it say about those who look at surface.
Is it truly about doing it first or doing it best? Heck some have listed other countries in respect to civil unions for one, marriage for others. Is that a win against the US? Is it just enough to put it on the books. Heck the 15th Amendment was ratified on February 3, 1870, yet we still had to have the Voting Rights Act in '65. Hey but the US was able to get the 15th Amendment on the books, let's pat ourselves on the back sip a latte and order a Turkey Burger, we fought the good fight.
