Quote"In that sense it makes a claim on other people's property," Braddy said. "This is about granting special privileges to a class of people."
Yes, wouldn't want to 'grant special privileges to a class of people.' That being so, I would conclude that Gainesville, FL will soon see Mr. Braddy open a campaign to stop recognition of heterosexual marriages, remove all white-males from the city commission, set-up election campaigns in the city to make it possible for all people, even destitute homeless people, to be able to run for and win city commission elections.
After that I suspect he'll want to take the campaign to all of Florida and then nation-wide.
Who knew Gainesville, Florida was such a hot-bed of anarchism!!
