A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren

As a caveat, I'll reiterate for the billionth time my opposition to civil marriage in general, whether between a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man, a porpoise and a Komodo dragon, a turtle and a senator . . . whatever. Why assumed regular fuckery should confer additional civil rights and civic protections escapes me entirely.

That said, I am so fucking tired of black preachers denigrating the clear parallel between their own past civil rights struggles, in particular the effort to overturn miscegenation laws, and the current same-sex marriage brouhaha. When I hear an African-American divine explain that the Bible lays out a clear "definition of marriage," I am so like, curse you, child of Ham.
