I would rather gay marriage exist longer than confederacy. Seems like THAT having a lasting appeal is a better deal than confederacy lasting one day longer.
That being said, I’m not even pro-marriage. I don’t mean gay marriage. I mean ALL marriage. The whole thing seems like a scam to make you buy expensive cake.
But I’d rather have people of all backgrounds being happy together, in a tradition I don’t believe in, rather than the confederacy existing.
Had a teacher back in college that was arguing against gay marriage (edit: being legalized) by saying pretty much what you are… “Gay people shouldn’t be fighting to get married, they should be fighting to get rid of marriage for all!”
I mean…it sounds like he was against marriage, not gay marriage. The difference is if you’re against marriage, you’re against the core concept of the institution of marriage. If you’re against GAY marriage, then you’re just an asshole homophobe trying to deprive specifically gay people from what they think will bring them happyness, while being fine with straight people doing the same.
Doesn’t sound like your teacher was against gay marriage to me.
I guess it wasn’t clear that it was before it was legalized and yes he was against all marriage but it came up in a discussion about gay marriage legalization.
He should be smiling in last panel too.

I think he isn’t smiling because the original comic was about those schools in Canada where they did genocide against native kids.
I think the original might have been about the US’s massive prison population.
That’s another strong possibility, yeah. I was guessing Canada because it’s a beaver.
