two of the majority justices in the case were selected by him. cool i guess.

Btw doesn't the fed government have the power to pass a marriage act recognizing gay marriage and therefore invalidating state laws?

The US has taken both countries I'm citizen of into two illegal wars for its own nefarious purposes.

Gays not getting a piece of paper and the tax treatment they've decided they deserve is not in the same league.

besides, de facto partnerships exist anyway. gays have the same legal obligations and rights as a married couple if they wish to be so, except for calling it a 'marriage'

Oh he's now all for it? I guess I missed when that changed. Well good for the homosexuals. They now can get divorced and all that jazz like the heterosexuals.

De facto partnerships exist but weren't (and still aren't) viewed by some state governments as legit.  That's the whole point in calling it de facto as opposed to de jure.  Don't be dumb.

That's like asking why the white community is so hobophobic...veins of hate exist through every demographic.  Ever seen the documentary "Paris is Burning"?

I don't watch gay television.

Among the African American community, homophobia is worse.

It's a documentary, not television.  And you watch True Blood and shit like that, so check yo'self.

from the author of the study:

When you ran a regression with a racial dummy variable what did you find?

this:
The religious variables and age were powerful predictors of the variation in attitudes toward homosexuality, but race not so much (not even statistically significant).

most of the black-white difference is due to religion and stuff.
There's your explanation I guess?

Hispanics are overwhelming Christian and poor and other stuff. They aren't more homophobic than whites by a significant degree. What is it specifically that makes black people more homophobic?

It's something OTHER than race, apparently.  If we go with the author of your study, it has to do with "religion and stuff" based on his regression models.  Being black is not even statistically significant - there are better predictors of bigotry than race.

His words again:

race not so much (not even statistically significant)
Maybe you should focus on the factors that are more indicative, like religion.  I guess it's not as flamboyant a headline when you put it that way - Religious people are more bigoted than non-religious people definitely doesn't sound as good as "black people are more homophobic" - but that's a more realistic headline.

So they jailed that clerk who wouldn't issue gay licenses. Good for her. They shut down her go fund me account so she can't make money being  a martyr now. Well, not as much.

People keep saying she should be fired and jail is too harsh. Apparently they cant read that she was elected and jail was the only real option.

I don't even know why this is a news story. One podunk little holdout that needed to be utterly crushed. Pride has swung from being oppressed to vindictive bullies rather quickly.

Why do people like you feel the need to complain about something not being a real news story whenever something like this happens? This means a lot to gay people, and their families.

Because this is strictly a local issue that impacted like five people. If she hadn't been turned into a martyr with all evangelical eyes turned towards her she probably would've given in and not had her life ruined. But hey, you're entertained right? And that's all that matters.

particular, concrete incidents become symbols of universal, general cultural struggles in semiotic shocker.
