And when a man like Keith Bardwell refuses to perform the marriage ceremony for two adults legally allowed to be married, he’ll claim it’s for the sake of the children or because these kind of relationships don’t last long.
Four decades since Loving vs Virginia, and racist scumbags still think they have the right to judge the success of a relationship by the colour of the couple’s skins. The least surprising thing about Keith Bardwell is that he believes himself not to be racist.
People who argue that same-sex couples ought to be denied marriage invariably claim not to be homophobic, too.
And the arguments used in both cases- think of the children, these relationships don’t last- are shockingly the same.
Because bigotry is bigotry is bigotry.
