Moral Wrongs and Civil Rights
August 16th, 2010
Inspired by the picture in Prop 8 Backers: Gay Marriages Would ‘Harm The State’s Interest In Promoting Responsible Procreation’ (Huffington Post 8/16/10).
A moral wrong can’t be a civil right:
The sign carrier actually got it right.
But before readers jump to the wrong conclusion,
My view on marriage is one of inclusion.
Contrary to the assertions of Prop 8 promoters,
Are in favor of marriage equality.
If they thought it were wrong, they wouldn’t be.
Now the federal court
The same view does support.
Hence your tautology
Argues for marriage equality.
So, Mr. Prop Eight, I agree:
Since marriage is an individual liberty,
Then gay marriage can’t be morally wrong.
Now, please go back to Utah where you belong.
Or, you can stay
In the state of CA,
As long as you’ve accepted
That gays in their marriage rights
Aren’t
Excepted.
