Your reference tot African-Americans failing to see their common cause with gays is a reminder that prejudice knows no color line. You can be black and be a bigot, just as you can be Jewish and a bigot. All it takes is a warped view of reality.

And I don't know that he'd have done it any better.<br /><br />I'd just point out two things that strike me, whatever their significance. "True, this gay stuff come on mighty fast." Verily. Southerners had had almost a century to wrap their heads around the idea of legal equality for African Americans by the time the civil rights movement was finally achieving some of its goals in the '60's. But when a guy as smart and thoughtful as Obama figured, just 7 years ago, that it was politically expedient for him to oppose gay marriage for religious reasons, and only publicly supported it in 2012, that hasn't left a whole lot of time for even reasonable people to *evolve* in their thinking, let alone Southern county judges. ; )<br /><br />Also, it's ironic to me that, while African Americans were the targets of Sheriff Steinberg's colleagues' intolerance back in the 60's, today the religious African American demographic is disproportionately on the same side of this battle as the recalcitrant Alabama judges.<br /><br />Gotta say, though, I thought there'd have been dozens of comments on the ole EGD today. Just wondering, Neil, are you taking more flak via e-mail and/or Facebook?
