Yes it's sad they don't see it that way - I know for a fact that the Gay Liberation Front people like my partner and' his friend fought also for black civil rights - my partner did so in South Africa much to his personal and physical loss (like losing his teeth in a a SA police cell)...eventually having to leave in '72. They are linked, totally, and had to be - if the civil rights movement hadn't won over the white majority it wouldn't have succeeded, and we'd never have Obama at all.
I'm glad they all fought for this, and they would've even knowing this result, but it's not great payback for those who did fight.
'your die-hard fundamentalist rejects.' - yeh that's why we chucked them out, well made them leave. We couldn't stand them either. Sorry...;-)
