I know you're black.

And no, it's not hypocrisy. Look, the reason democracies vote is because there's pros and cons to every issue.

When they vote, they're not denying gays the right to marry. That's your vote.

What they are voting for is the dignity of their religion.

And because we have oppressed them, we cannot ask them to change their vote.


And in that respect, we would be shameless to ask them to, one more time, give away more of their dignity... for us.
