As a lesbian, I'm also looking to MLK's example today, and the example of his followers. Did they lie down and quit when their leader was murdered? No. They kept up the fight, even during the darkest times. So too will I keep up the fight, and one day I know that we will prevail. All people will have equal rights under the constitution.

As a lesbian myself I'm with you 100%. And we'll get there, I have no doubt of that.

In another thread genna put it so eloquently as to what the occasion felt like as an African-American: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7789242#7789965

I could never put my finger on exactly what it was, but when genna said the following: "it would be living in a house your whole life and feeling like you are a tolerated guest" that was it, that is what I feel.
