46. Gaspee does have it on an automatic loop -
making the same post over and over.

Doesn't make it true.

There is no way a gay marriage amendment to the constitution would have EVER passed at that time. This was, you'll remember, before * started shredding the constitution -- even republicans didn't like the idea of amending the constitution to restrict rights for the 1st time since the 18th amendment.

DOMA is a throwback to the misigynation laws of Jim Crow, legalizing discrimination. Now, with that as a signed law as a basis, there is MORE impetus for an amendment than there was then -- the troglodytes know they can get away with it. Next thing you know we'll be back to the 20s, with gays being arrested and jailed for the crime of being gay.

Rights CAN be reversed. Are you aware that 5% of landowners in Virgina colony in 1630 were black formerly indentured servants? A century later, their descendants were slaves.

We are not so much more enlightened today.

What DOMA did was give legal basis to the fallacy that gay marriage is somehow a threat to straight marriage. Clinton, in triangulating for the idiot vote, accepted that fallacy as fact.

And Hillary won't change it. She'll take gay votes, but she has that fucking bus warmed up and running.
