Amendment 2 was about not giving special rights to a group, not about denying rights. Putting lipstick on a pig does not change a thing, only the appearance.

The politicians were showing their collective ignorance, nothing new about that. At least they came around in the end.

Amendment 2 was about not giving special rights to a group, not about denying rights. Putting lipstick on a pig does not change a thing, only the appearance.
The politicians were showing their collective ignorance, nothing new about that. At least they came around in the end.
