Donaldson, the black Baptist minister from St. Louis, wrinkles his nose when I tell him about the gay marriages underway at the nearby courthouse, not to mention what's happening in the NFL and Idaho. "I'm not for gay marriage," he seethes. "I'm against what God's against."

But, wait. That's precisely the justification given by segregationist politicians of the civil rights era. In Georgia, Gov. Allen Candler said, "God made them Negroes and we cannot by education make them white folks." Ross Barnett became Mississippi's governor in 1960 after claiming that "the good Lord was the original segregationist."

I ask Donaldson, How can a black man echo bigots to stifle gay rights?

"As far as hatred," he says, "I would never have hatred toward anybody."

Some wastes of time are worthwhile. The vocal minority rolling the system to enforce progressive dogma, is against the principles of democracy. That the minority controls the levers of power then uses them to in force conformity is a bad thing.

It is the reasoning of the Borg(from star trek), resistance is futile, we will I sorb you.

It is always wise to resist injustice even when inconvenient. The argument that a black person must support civil rights is raciest, much less the support of the progressive cause de jour.
