THE MILLENNIAL CATHOLIC:
I have never been a Star Trek fan. I know enough about it to pick out the various characters but I don't go to conventions dressed like a member of the Federation.
After the idiocy of George Takai, I don't want anything to do with Star Trek. Just look how easy it was to tear apart his stand against Kim Davis:
“So let us be clear: This woman is no hero to be celebrated.”
(That's debatable, since she certainly isn't a martyr. However, I would argue she should be defended against nonsense like yours.)
“She broke her oath to uphold the Constitution and defied a court order so she could deny government services to couples who are legally entitled to be married.”
(She took that oath before the ruling. Furthermore, the ruling did NOT say every person has the right to marry whoever they want.)
“She is entitled to hold her religious beliefs, but not to impose those beliefs on others,”
(So you think it's fine to impose your beliefs on people? I think you're jealous that it's not your beliefs being promoted.)
“If she had denied marriage certificates to an interracial couple, would people cheer her? Would presidential candidates flock to her side?”
(As a multi-racial person, I take great offense at that, Takai. Furthermore, any law, Jim Crow or other, that did ban interracial marriage were used to uphold a racist legal order. Good luck trying to convince me or anyone these bans were used for an anti-gay legal order.)
“In our society, we obey civil laws, not religious ones. To suggest otherwise is, simply put, entirely un-American.”
(That's a strange statement coming from you, since the Supreme Court also said it's legal to send people of Japanese descent to internment camps…the very same camps you've admitted you were sent to as a boy......But then again, I'm not stupid enough to say the Court has the final word on things.)
