Leftists and the US federal government are both the same. The leftists fabricate their opinions in an attempt to destroy the country and the federal government enforces these views onto red states who believe this absolute bullcrap. Yet its the left who is screaming "oppression" and "biggot" the entire time the feds have their back. Think Alabama gives a  about homosexuals the same that California does? Fuck no. I guarantee that 90%+ of southerners are homophobic and want gays out of their State.
