So says Governor Markell. As the arc of any free society bends towards equality and justice, his statement on full equality is a no-brainer.
In an interview with Reuters Insider TV, Markell, a Democrat, said he expects that Delaware will take up same-sex marriage legislation “probably within the next few years.” Delaware began allowing civil unions — an institution set up to give the same rights as civil marriage, while reserving marriage for heterosexual couples — last year.
Markell noted that until three years ago it was legal in Delaware “to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation,” and said the state was moving towards greater acceptance of homosexuality.
“I think it’s inevitable,” he said of gay marriage.
Damn straight it’s inevitable. It is time for the bigots to wake up to that notion. In the meantime, I expect a full self righteous indignant freak out on the right. And a loud one too. When a bigoted minority party knows it is dying and knows its discriminatory policies are being reversed forever, it has nothing left to do but scream at the top of its lungs. But that bark has no bite.
