It was in a landmark decision involving Jim Crow which is a direct result of the Civil War, see Plessey v. Ferguson.

I understand where “separate but equal” cams from and why it was struck down. If you don’t know that legal precedents and concepts can be applied in cases different than the original, you should really educate yourself on how the law works. Two issues don’t have to be of equivalent harm or intensity to use precedent.



But that’s the state of the right in this country, just running to yell about “slavery” and being offended instead of educated all the time.

Instead, they’ve worn out those historical words so much by attributing them to trivial crap that they’ve truly diluted the historical meaning of those words.

It’s kinda like the story about a boy who cried wolf, except given their actions, I’m starting to wonder if it’s not just ignorance.
What are you even talking about here? Am I wearing out those historical words like “legal precedent?”

Do you have a single logical response to any post or do you just shoot off the latest snarky leftist comeback that you heard on Rachel Maddow? Pretty sure he said nothing about gays and was speaking purely to changing/multiple genders.

Talking about how the left doesn’t know or understand history, historical context, and true meanings of certain words and phrases.

Clearly, someone who blindly supports the modern day left in this country cannot see this and wouldn’t know what’s being talked about.

So,do you just not know that legal precedent can be (and always has been) applied among disparate cases, or do you just wrongly think that every application of precedent equivocates the issues in question? You must lose your mind listening to SCOTUS recordings.

If I remember, one of the reasons this was an issue was because all of the other laws and rules written by states and local governments that only recognized "marriage", such as for things like loved ones medical decisions, or life insurance, etc. So it's either go back and re-write thousands of other laws to assure equal rights, or be done with it by just making it "marriage".

I wasn’t the one talking about “separate but equal.” I also don’t dehumanize those holding the opposing viewpoint by referring to them using historically evil epithets.

Oh, and I don’t lose my mind over anything... not a liberal, sorry.
