'Community standards' is YOUR argument Mikey!

After all, you're arguing "community standards" and such. It certainly once was the case that mixed race marriages were very much against not just community, but legal standards. In some parts of the country (I refer here to the geography of some exceedingly small minds), it's still not very well accepted, though it is indisputably legal.

What's the difference? Why isn't the analogy appropriate? Should we hold our breath waiting for a coherent answer?

His primary justification for the gay/straight, black/white comparison not being "appropriate" was "I can LOOK at you and tell if you're black or white, but I can't LOOK at you and tell you're gay, so unless you TELL me or I FIGURE IT OUT later, I can't possibly discriminate against you because I don't know you're gay."

In other words, if Steele's gaydar is functioning properly, he can make an informed decision about whether or not someone should have equal rights, based on "community standards." If not, the person would have to tell him or do something gay so he would know.
