It took over a decade to
fight discrimination against black people. People quoted the Bible on that
issue also. Some people still do. But I’m confident that this rule is totally
unconstitutional. The Constitutions protects all people and there is no
president for turning back someone’s rights.
So this should surprise know one. There isn’t any difference between “gay” discrimination and “black discrimination.” -សតិវ អតុ
From Yahoo News;
"Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples," Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote in the decision. The court concludes that the law violates the 14th Amendment rights of gay couples to equal protection under the law. Access to gay marriage will remain on hold pending appeals to the decision.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act to the Present
The various civil-rights acts and the diminishment of
prejudice produced changes in the political arena; African Americans became
increasingly elected to public office. In 1966, Edward Brooke became the
first African American to be elected to the U.S. Senate since Reconstruction,
and, in 1967, Carl Stokes
became the first African American to be elected mayor of a major American city
(Cleveland).
Many major cities, among them New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago,
have since elected black mayors. In 1984 and 1988, Jesse Jackson
campaigned for the Democratic nomination for president, becoming the first
black to contend seriously for that office. Douglas Wilder became
first African American to be elected governor of a state in 1989. Gen. Colin Powell, the first
African American to head the Joint Chiefs of Staff and serve as secretary of
state, was the popular choice of many Republicans for the 1996 presidential
nomination, although he declined to run.
