civil rights for oppressed minorities.

Our time has come. We're done with apologists.

Denying the right of people of the same sex to marry is not in any way different than denying the right of someone to marry because of the color of their skin

I assume you are white. How would you feel if someone denied you the right to marry simply because of the light color of your skin? I guarantee, you'd be outraged.

It is not logical, reasonable, ethical, or moral. It is outright bigotry, it is wrong, and it needs to stop immediately.

Take some time to really try to feel what it is like to walk in our shoes. You will start singing a different tune if you ever really get it.

Making continuous just demands for just action, unrelenting pressure, not taking no for an answer, and creating as much tension as possible, is how deserved equality is achieved.

Sitting down and shutting up leads only to more sitting down and shutting up. Bigots will never simply hand over our rights to us if we ask them nicely. They have never done this for anyone.

I'm a Democrat, and I expect the Democratic Party to prioritize and unrelentingly work to obtain for me legal recognition and protection of my rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that I have been naturally endowed with by my creator. No excuses. A political party is no damn good at all if it does not work to attain, protect, and maintain the just rights of its members.

And if we have to continually kick their ass until they finally do it, then so be it, but this thing is going to get done, and we're never going away.

We will give a whole new meaning to the phrase "pain in the ass" until we get our rights.
