Yeah, we tried "separate but equal" here too.

Being the good guys is about more than being "second worst".

You might be surprised, but a civil union is the only legally binding form of marriage in many countries, e.g. Germany. The Churches - even though they are state churches - aren’t even allowed to provide a wedding ceremony if the civil union hasn’t been performed beforehand. Which different legal provisions do you think make the „religious marriage“ vs. „civil union“ morally equal to „separate but equal“?

If you cannot think about any group that’s not as bad as Hamas, but worse than Israel, I‘m happy to help… just ask!
