[QUOTE="pickup, post: 852610"] More, I don't mean this to be disrespectful. But just because a law is a law doesn't make it right. Aiding runaway slaves in their pursuit of freedom was once against the law , yet many broke that law. A black man and a white woman marrying was once against the law. I think in the late 60s, Virginia tried to enforce that law and the case went to the Supreme Court. Once the Supreme Court was ruled the law as unconstitutional, the remaining states that had the same law dropped it as well. It was once illegal for women to vote, that changed in 1919 , I believe or around that time. Things change More. I wish it was called a civil union with all the rights that the gays needed. But they now call it marriage in New York State. It strikes me in the gut as a little odd calling it that. But I think I can live with it. [/QUOTE]
