But then again so did the clerks who broke the law to issue licenses when it wasn't legal to do so. None of them went to jail. What about the mayors and officials in so called sanctuary cities? None of them are in jail. The US constitution has been tortured to the point where anything can be ratioalized no matter how intrusive. The fact is that our governing authorities ignore the law when it is convenient or fits their adgenda. I mourn the lose of a once great nation.
That would be an excellent point, Chad, except that the issue is human rights.
You could say the same thing about people who smuggled slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad.
If people are defying the law because some citizens don't enjoy equal rights to others,
and the growing trend of increasing acknowledgement of LGBT rights seems to indicate this is valid,
then it is a little bit silly to try to simply label it a double-standard.
