First E-Harmony, now Black Jack
[asset|aid=83|format=image|formatter=asset|width=240|height=180|align=right|resizable=true]
Continuing on the theme of discriminating against loving couples:
The town of Black Jack (whose sole claim to fame until now has been it's award winning public access channel) has denied a living permit to a family of five because the parents are not married. According the Black Jack law, cohabitants have to be related by blood, marriage, or adoption.
I wouldn't be so contemptuous of Black Jack's city leaders if they were enforcing laws they didn't agree with. But apparently the city council recently reaffirmed their support for the law. I guess the Black Jack city council believes it can enforce its morality through zoning restrictions.
I don't like to make idle speculations, but I do want to ask this: would this couple's housing permit have been denied if they were white?
