How about Peaceful Demonstrations ??
A large group of gays and lesbians get some white T-shirts that say 'Second Class Citizen: Those who don't remember the past are doomed to repeat it'. (Okay, the last part would be in small letters....)

Put on every bright and sunny Sunday morning and en masse head to your local predominately black churches, asian, latino, etc... and be sure to arrive EARLY...

so you can all sit IN THE BACK of the church.

Make no problems, enjoy the services, join in the songs and message... and when they pass the collection plate, put in little 'reminders' of 1960 Civil Rights, WWII internment camps, Hate Mongering sayings of the RW knuckleheads.

... and when not on Sunday mornings ... wear your Tshirts and sit in the back of the bus, trains, etc.

Be a VISIBLE second class citizen and throw the double-speak right in their faces.. everyone one of them.

But remember, be sure NOT to post anything like this in another other forum in DU, after all, it's not THEIR issue so why should we bother them????

2. yeah, we forget that "gay" is an idea.
In our current political hangover, it's the idea of equality, not who you sleep with.

You don't have to be registered gay to vote gay. ;)
