Comparing the Dred Scott decision to the one granting gay people the right to marry is so grotesquely off the mark, unfair ,specious and imbecilic words fail me.
The Dred Scott decision legalized and promoted the maltreatment and humiliation of slaves . It made injustice legal .
Allowing gay people to marry harms absolutely no one else and no one at all. It does not violate the rights of anyone else, interfere with their lives or cause them misfortune, difficulties and hardship .
Kim Davis is NOT being "persecuted " and not fired for opposing gay marriage . She was imprisoned for CONTEMPT OF COURT , insubordination and refusal to do her job based on her religious beliefs and intolerance of and hostility to gay people .
I fail to see how same sex marriage could possibly hurt or trouble Kim Davis and her family . What does she have to lose by doing her job here ? Absolutely nothing .
