What Wrong Side of History Means
Newly-inaugurated Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring has declined to defend the state's ban on same-sex marriage, comparing it to Virginia's less-than-stellar civil rights record--decades of Jim Crow, massive resistance to school desegregation and laws against interracial marriage--what Herring calls the "wrong side of history".
To which Delegate Robert Marshall replies that Herring "has the audacity to make racial allusions that somehow being for man-and-woman marriage makes you some segregationist, which is totally gratuitous on his part and insulting.”
No, Delegate Marshall, being for man-and-woman marriage does not make you some segregationist. What makes you a segregationist is your willingness to exclude others from that opportunity.

I apologize for posting here, but I couldn't find a way to email you directly. I'm doing research on Vietnam vets and their reading habits and library use while in Vietnam. I'm conducting a survey on this available here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BLRPGPD. Would you mind posting this for your readers? I'm particularly trying to get in touch with one of your anonymous readers who remembers using the library in Vietnam and left a comment on your post on Giap. Many thanks-- Kate Stewart (kathrynvstewart@gmail.com)
