An engineer who immigrated from China found his name on the online "blacklist" after he donated $1,000 to the "Yes on 8" campaign. He rightly said that "this sort of blacklist should only appear in communist countries, should not be found in the United States."

The Chinese engineer may be right, but he should also agree that governmentally sanctioned discrimination should not be found in the United States either. Isn't that why he left his country? For freedom and equality? I'm pretty sure China doesn't have any gay rights or protection under the law. An immigrant, of all people, should respect America's ideals of equality under the law. If he had come in the forties, just 60 years ago, he would have been treated like a dog, not allowed in restaurants, and not allowed to marry whites, because the majority said so.
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese engineeer is right, period. No "but" needed. This is not "government sanctioned discrimination." Gays have the same rights in California as married couples if they decide to enter into a domestic partnership. This is about the State Supreme Court CHANGING the long held meaning of the institution of marriage. It is about REDEFINITION of marriage imposed by judicial fiat.
ReplyDeleteThe "blacklist" tactic should be widely condemned for what it is, political intimidation of the worst sort. I thought liberals were supposed to be against blacklists? Shows how much I know.
