Louisana's Legal Discrimination.

A justice of the peace in Hammond, Louisiana has denied an interracial couple a marriage license -

“I’m not a racist. I just don’t believe in mixing the races that way. I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else,” Bardwell told the Associated Press.

*and*

“There is a problem with both groups accepting a child from such a marriage,” Bardwell said. “I think those children suffer and I won’t help put them through it.”

I find it interesting that people are throwing a fit, but the same people who are complaining also voted for and added an amendment to their state Constitution banning gay marriage and civil unions.

It also prohibits state officials and courts from recognizing any out-of-state same-sex marriages or civil unions.

Nothing like cherry picking our racism and discrimination.

Karma is a very strange creature. Because what goes around, can, will, and does come around in strange and unexpected ways, shapes, and forms.
When this story popped up, that was the first thing that popped into my mind, “What are Louisiana’s laws concerning gay marriage and civil unions?”

This is what happens. Because the voters and legislature of Louisiana decided to vote on and add a discriminating amendment to their state Constitution; people’s mindset has become such that if we can legally discriminate against this group doing this; why not discriminate against this group doing that too? One thing leads back to another.

It’s prejudice, and it’s ignorance, on a level that is staggering at this point in time. And you know what? People voted to make it legal.

ANd for those of you who don't believe that this racial discrimination and the discrimination against gay aren't one and the same; I urge you to take a closer look at the arguments portrayed here. This justice of the peace and opponents of gay marriage both claim they're doing it for the good of the children!!
