We Were Only Following Orders…Orders We Heartily Approved Of Naturally…But Orders…
From Dan Savage over at SLOG…
Issuing Marriage Licenses to Gay Couples the Moral Equivalent of Gassing Jews
So says Save California, an anti-gay group that is calling asking it supporters to call county clerks and demand that they refuse to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. From their website:
Ask your county clerk if they were a Nazi officer during WWII and had been ordered to gas the Jews, would they? At the Nuremberg trials, they would have been convicted of murder for following this immoral order.
Ask yourself if any of the morally righteous folks over at Save California would have refused to sign an order sending a gay man to the concentration camps. Go ahead. Try not to laugh.
