1860

If Negros are set free the white southerners will loose all they have built.

Load of BS!

1919

If women gain the right to vote the rights of men to lead their families’ will be diminished.

Load of BS!

1964

This civil rights act will remove the rights of business to decide who they will employ or do

business with.

Load of BS!

1970

If we allow interracial marriage we will destroy the American family as we know it.

Load of BS!

1985

Allowing women to join men’s only clubs will abandon the right of free association.

Load of BS!

2010

Allowing gays to marry will erode the rights of traditional couples across our country.

Load of BS!

2013

Allowing Transgendered women access to women only events will infringe on the rights of other women.

Load of BS!

Each of these arguments are cloaked in the idea that establishing the rights of some somehow diminishes the rights of others, This line of reasoning has always claimed no bigotry, discrimination or hatred is intended, only the protection of “others” rights.

Our country has never given credence to this argument; inclusion, love and acceptance have a track record, after long efforts, of wining the day. To the many who embrace this line of reasoning and believe they are not engaging in bigotry. I urge each of you to gain insight before you find yourselves forever assigned to the historical trash heap of haters, bigots and defenders of the establishment!
