Again as I said I know all the refutations but bottom line is that we have declined
In some ways I don't dispute it, in other ways perhaps less so.
I must admit even as a white man I'm glad I don't see different facilities marked "white" and "colored" and that I can hang out with black friends without people worrying that the might move in and drag the property values down.
I'm glad people don't feel the need to go to church just to avoid the disapproving tuts from folks who can't imagine how someone could do anything else on a Sunday morning. Using social pressure to create a society made up of whitewashed tombs helps nobody.
I'm glad that I can question what the preacher in the pulpit says without being accused of blasphemy or heresy for daring to challenge "a man of the cloth".
Although there are times the more vocal elements of the gay lobby get rather tedious in many ways it's good that a gay couple can get together and be together without living a lie and hiding who they really are - if two men want to be together it helps nobody if they both marry women and go through the motions of living a lie while seeing each other as often as they can. All that does is catch two innocent women and potentially a number of children up in living a lie that they aren't even a part of, only to rip it all apart when they find their husband never really loved them and then they get to explain to the children why Daddy ran away with another man.
