Is this hyperbole? Or do you actually think people who don't like gay marriage want to torture people to death (excluding communists)?

Keep in mind that as of 2016 around 30% of Democrats still do not support gay marriage. http://www.pewforum.org/2016/05/12/changing-attitudes-on-gay-marriage/

I used to go to a laundromat run by first generation immigrants from...somewhere in Africa. I remember overhearing the owners say that when gay marriage was ruled constitutional they burst into tears. Like, I don't know what country they came from but I was on the verge of asking if they thought it would be better to burn gay people alive.

drat they adjusted to American culture pretty fast. Crying about stuff that has 0 negative effect on them or anyone else, in 1 generation no less

I am saying there are plenty of third world shitholes that kill people for being gay (and they're not all muslim extremists either).

And there's a difference between clamming up for political gain and actively opposing gay marriage on a moral basis. Short answer: No, I don't think everyone against gay marriage has murder on the mind. But it seems to be pretty prevalent in squalid regions and places where they can put you on trial for sorcery and what-have-you.

Also when I mentioned sorcery I totally forgot about the Satanic Panic of the 80s-90s.. I withdraw any pretense that America is better than the third world.

Reverence for culture for its own sake is one of the dumber lefty fads. Objectively there are lovely cultures. Ones worse than ours. Some are better. Some don't deal with outsiders well and some are straight up regressive and theres nothing wrong with some of them dying off. Monoculture lends itself to less social strife too

The fun thing about NY is a lot of the PoC's there are immigrants, and fairly conservative on some issues.

Ask a Jamaican dude what he thinks about LGBT issues if you want a laugh.

What's really funny is that if the Republicans hadn't pushed the Southern Strategy and invited a ton of racists into their ranks, and just stuck to social conservatism and lovin' Jesus and guns minus the whole racism thing, they would probably command a HUGE portion of the minority vote.

Where I live and work is like 50% black and let me tell you, the main reason why black people vote Democrat is because dudes like Bill O'Reilly are openly racist. Well, that and the whole thing with Nixon and Goldwater I just mentioned. And a lot of Mexicans aren't too fond of Trump for, well, obvious reasons.

Racist shitheads and neoconfederates are probably too numerous and powerful to actually purge them from the Republican party. But if it weren't for that poo poo, the GOP would probably have the minority vote in the bag.

we're already seeing the process of realignment, where all the Bush neocons defected to the slay queen while Democratic party tells its progressive faction to shut up and fall in line or get out, and the Republican primaries out their establishment in favor of nativist libertarian types who fundamentally oppose all federal activity. There isn't going to be much of a flipping of sides, the GOP is just going to do its new crazy Tea Party thing with a super-motivated core of heavy voters while the Democrats expand to incorporate those who don't go along into a big-tent woke corporatist rump faction.
