I mean more than likely, yes. Considering one of the guys who voted against it has an Asian wife, I would say that he is not actually against interracial marriage. If you were trying to make Republicans look racist, would you not include interracial marriage in a bill that you knew they would vote against because of same-sex marriage being included? It's a very clever strategic move.

They probably did. It's just that whoever made this little infographic didn't mention that because it would make the Republicans not look so bad. The intention behind this is to make Republicans look bad. That's the same reason they included the interracial marriage part in this bill. It puts Republicans in a position where if they vote no on the bill, they can say that they voted against interracial marriage even though the Republicans were more than likely actually voting against gay marriage, which is bad still but is not received as badly as voting against interracial marriage.

Sure technically. But he was Voting against same-sex marriage, not interracial marriage. Interracial marriage was just included on the same bill so that people who voted against it looked bad and could be accused of voting against interracial marriage. For the record, I think both should obviously be legal. I'm not saying it's cool to vote against gay marriage. I'm just telling you what is most likely really happening here. Those are both proposed in the same bill so if you vote against one, you vote against the other

Just get off Facebook. There is no actual need to be on there. And if you can't do that, may as well just make a throw away account that you can be that Facebook group with that is not actually connected to you.

For you could leave the group.

Or you could just only lurk and never say anything so that no one is ever interested enough in you to make you a target
