Why do Democrats permit violations of human rights?

Intrepid Liberal Journal offers a good attack on the anti-homosexual legislation that is being passed in some states and localities. Here is a quote:
Once upon a time this country had “slave” states and “free” states and it appears we’re headed towards “tolerant” states and “homophobic” states under the law. That is not acceptable. It’s wonderful some mayors are presiding over gay marriages while different states have codified civil unions. But suppose your roots are in a community that doesn’t provide equal protection under the law? We're supposed to be one country.
All the rhetoric in the world does not make the allowance of homosexuals to contract a legally binding marriage to a person of the same sex a threat to the legally identical marriages of people of separate sexes.

The anti-homosexual agenda is the same as the anti-woman agenda. Someone out there wants to regulate who everyone else has sex with and how much fun they have with it. The anti-gay-marriage agenda is the same as the anti-abortion agenda. Both are efforts by a group of busy-bodies to gain control over how everyone else has sex and what they do with it. Nothing else. The whole thing is a shell game to give power to a few religious leaders. Society would be much better off if those religious leaders all died overnight.

Of course, mental health practitioners would find half their business disappearing, but that, too, is a good thing.
