many of the people who are so eager to deny lgbt people their constitutional rights are also die hard racists.

These people are still smarting from the shellacking they took in the 60's. Hell, some of them in the south are still pissed they were beaten by the Yanks (I am not making this up, many of mr bmus' coworkers actually call us northerners by that name - like that's a bad thing).

That's what those voter i.d. laws are all about, they want to find a way to repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Just ask Rand Paul.

You're right about the lawyers, it's just too bad that we have to keep fighting so hard for the most basic of rights.
