Quote:After oral arguments last month at the Supreme Court in the historic marriage equality case Obergefell v. Hodges, many legal observers agreethat the court appears poised to strike down the remaining state bans on same-sex marriage in June. And what we saw in the weeks prior with discriminatory legislation in Arkansas and — a media spectacle which included large corporations and prominent celebrities speaking out and forcing Republican governors to backtrack — gave many people hope that religious-right forces have been beaten back.
Even if marriage equality comes to all 50 states in June, after all, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people still won’t be protected against discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations under the 1964 Civil Rights Act, nor under any federal statute, a sad reality that often surprises people. There are no statewide protections in 29 states. Which means that in some states, gay and lesbian individuals have exercised the right to marry one day, only to be fired from their jobs the next after their employers learned about it.

I personally think the entire reason theistitards are being so dumb, not ignorant, is that they realize a great change is about to happen. They feared the same change during the civil rights movement. The problem with religious idiots is that they fear change.
After all, their religion does not change. That is and will be the downfall of religion. It does not change.
Fuck religion.
