I couldn't work out if I was upset that they were using business as the reason not human rights, or if I was pleased that they had figured out a way to help push for the right thing. Still not sure, really.
- ck2 15y agoIf I understand it correctly, history is repeating itself in that some business also helped push for rights in the 1950s, ie. serving everyone at the same lunch counter at some stores even though it was illegal at the time. The difference is this time at least people aren't being beaten and killed over this (at least not in mass). But it does not help at all when the President of the United States says that gay rights are okay when they need fresh bodies for the wars to kill and be killed but on gay marriage "well he's still not convinced". It boggles my mind.
