Americans and especially the SJW should watch this.

And this is why you don't leave something so important up to the states.

I just mean, imagine you were a gay American living in Missouri or some other state in which same-sex marriage is banned. And you see our President or Secretary of State or anybody on the news saying that this or that other country is persecuting homosexuals and they need to be more tolerant. Wouldn't you feel like somebody got their priorities mixed up? I think I'd be pretty angry.

Theres a big differnce between not legalizing gay marriage and murdering homosexuals...I think you can condemn one without condoning the other

There is a big difference, but as I said, if it were me I would be angry. At its core, you are telling a country to stop discriminating against a group of people, while the laws of your own country are still discriminatory towards that same group. The other country may be killing them, but your own country is denying them the same rights as other groups.

Not trying to turn this into a same-sex marriage debate, just using it as an example. It would bother me. I certainly don't think we should just look away while other countries are committing atrocities, if anything I simply want our country to practice what it preaches.
