3a. See Dixie Chicks, circa 2003, and death threats. For which there is actually corroboration. The idea that conservatives don't react to political dissent with threats of violence is laughable. There's a fine documentary, "Shut Up and Sing," highly recommended.
4. If you want to legally limit marriage to heterosexual unions, then yes, you are bigoted and intolerant. Which Cruz does. If you are personally opposed to gay marriage, then don't get gay married.
5. So you think it was terrible that black Atlantans boycotted the public bus system in the 1950s- the one that forced them to sit in the back, then. Interesting. And unsurprising.

Yeah, ive seen nothing about death threats, just boycotts...with good reason since

You can't boycott Cruz...can't even write him if you aren't from Texas, even tho as a us senator, he can cause us all issues. As for it being up to the states, as that elected idiot says...
One, that's poli-speak for I don't like but can't figure out a palatable argument against it.
Two, the federal govt. Has granted rights to married people for a long time, and has levied penalties against legally married couples...ie Windsor.
Third, we were in the navy when we married. I was a resident of MD, he of ar. Stationed in cali. Have since lived in MD, fl, mo and ar. Our marriage was recognized by every state, and by the feds. That same reciprocity should occur for every married couple. Equal protection under the law is a right for all Americans, and is not a state issue.
And if rupe said the bus boycott was wrong, it only reaffirms my choice to place him with dell.
