The first gays to seek marriage equality were the Rosa Parks. The homophobes are the reincarnation of George Wallace standing in the door.

There, I did it. Hitler and Rosa Parks in the same post. Ban me, plz.

The anti-equality bigots will probably be like the “good Christians” who bombed black churches in Mississippi. That was their “civil disobedience.”

They’re not talking about a “Rosa Parks Moment”. They’re talking about an “Ernst Röhm Moment”. It was known as the Night of the Long Knives.

Ah, Porno Pete seems to still be desperate to make sure that his cash cow doesn’t stop giving that golden milk because I somehow doubt that “gay porn obsessed anti-gay activist” looks good on a resume.

If the wingers think there are gay buses know this, Rosa would have had a blast on one and wouldn’t have made it past the food and dancing to the rear where most, anyway, just hold hands or snog…
"This sweet woman ended up becoming this massive hero and she didn’t have any other idea behind it other than she didn’t think it was right and she was correct in that,

LaBarbera might also want to consider what happens if a governor ignores a Supreme Court ruling.

Nah, the anti-gay movement needs a Moses moment. If you don’t like this country’s laws and the principles they were based on, go away. Go live in Greenland or somewhere. Just go.

I hear Somalia is a Libertarian paradise. No laws, and as many guns as you can steal!

I think the analogy is only apt if you’re fighting against bigotry, not for it. But thanks for playing.

Fine with me. But they can’t go to Uganda, where the supreme court struck down the law making homosexuality a life-sentenceworthy crime. Looks like the gay thought police are controlling things there too! Oh noes!

I was going to make the same point. These people are incredibly ignorant of every aspect of American history, and utterly clueless about the way the world actually works.
