Encouraging Parallels?

Tom posted this over the weekend:

All of this is transparent, and all of this is part of a historic pattern among Republicans. In fact, the last time the country fought a battle over "traditional marriage" -- racists attempting to uphold state bans on interracial marriage during the civil rights era -- the political landscape was strikingly similar to the political landscape today.

At that time, sixteen states had laws on the books outlawing interracial marriage and 70& of Americans opposed interracial marriage.

As the President unwittingly observed, it is deja vu, all over again: "Nineteen states have held referendums to amend their state constitutions to protect the traditional definition of marriage, In every case, the amendments were approved by decisive majorities, with an average of seventy-one percent."
