All of these reasons turned people got off and mobilized the opposition to take a stand.
Funny, I find them close. The Whether you like it or not from Newsom wasn't his finish hour and the "Yes on 8" campaign" took it and used it.

I find both causes to be much closer than you think. True they are different in specific ways. But their overall oppressive 2nd class treatment is exactly the same.

Sure we could keep our mouths shut on the bus but did you ever have to come out black?


It's every person duty to become educated on the issues and anyone who voted against it who had to fight for their equality has ZERO sympathy from me. I think their ignorant and obviously lack an education on their past.
