Racism and bigotry are never right. Never. They have always been used as an excuse to opress the minority (and sometimes even a weak majority) by those in power. I just told Tom that if his sister and her husband voted for the anti-gay ammendment in their state's election, then they are not welcome in our house. I'm sorry, but if you find my relationship so repugnant, that you would vote to inscribe discrimination in your state's constitution, then I do not want to welcome you into my house. As an aside, the bible has been used throughout history to justify and defend many horrible things, from the crusades to slavery in the US and the oppresion of women. -- Victor Martinez It's really had to have such bigotry in your own family, or its equivalent. You're right about the Bible. It can be, and has been, used to prove and/or justify just about everything. :-( Joy |
