Instead of Gay, put in Black and see how it reads

The NJ is at it again, the hate gets published and I guess it sells newspapers and gathers readers.

What more do gay black people want from state, society?

The consent of two sovereign persons constitutes marriage. This consent is expressed in “I do” and it is witnessed by the church and the state. Witnessing is not always necessary, if there are none, like on a desert island.
What constitutes sovereignty? Discipline, control and dominion over oneself and one’s passions and obedience to proper authority are part of sovereignty. Responsibility as a citizen to promote the common good is required

Sovereignty bears the imperative of charity. There is good will in sovereignty and it draws us together in love.

When the state offered gay black people civil unions, it said: “It is not in our power to make matrimony out of civil unions, because matrimony means motherhood.”

Civil union status enables benefits to be paid. The question remains: What do gayblack people want from society?
