I have fought for gay rights since the seventies
Warren Stupidity
(48,181 posts)Not a human rights issue?
Really?
dsc
(52,164 posts)I don't choose to be gay. I agree with pot, and other, drug legalization but it is very different from marriage equality.
Warren Stupidity
(48,181 posts)But I digress. There is no choice to be made. It is not gay rights or the war on drugs. I support a progressive agenda that supports human rights across the board.

No Dem would assert there is a hierarchy of advocacy. Both are righteous causes. Advocating for one does not diminish advocating for the other.
dsc
(52,164 posts)we rank issues all the time. Health reform was more important than raising taxes on the rich for example. Yes we advocate for both things but it is absurd to argue that marriage equality is just like pot legalization.

Resist any frame offered up by Republicans.

(19,458 posts)I can't even comprehend people acting like a recreational drug is somehow a civil rights issue.
Luminous Animal
(27,310 posts)She presented an ethical dilemma for idiots. As if, advocating for pot decriminalization somehow diminishes advocating for marriage equality.
"But but but, I'm for both! However am I going to choose between the two!"

(12,081 posts)Some have to due to illness. I don't mean to make light of your fight. I cannot believe we are voting on the civil right of gay marriage. You shouldn't have to vote on a civil right. But pot legalization isn't just about recreational use. It's also about sick people who need medicine.
dsc
(52,164 posts)they were discussing CO where medical pot was legal already. I will say medical pot gets closer to a civil rights issue in my mind.
liberal_at_heart
(12,081 posts)WA passed both recreational marijuana and same sex marriage. It is possible to support both at the same time although I must admit I was against this particular marijuana initiative. I support legalization but didn't think this initiative was the right one. CO has rejected legislation before when they didn't feel it was the right legislation. Anyway, there really is no need to pit one issue against the other.

Protalker
(418 posts)I agree with her needed support for gay marriage and think it is of more social import than legalizing weed.
Luminous Animal
(27,310 posts)Considering it is easy to support both. More divisive crap from the party of divisive crap.
