I suppose there were a lot of people in those days that fought the changing definition of citizen... I think we can *all* agree that that is a good thing.

Amen. Eliminating racial discrimanation is a great thing. However, equating the black experience with the gay experience (pun intended
), is out of whack. There are no Straights only and gays only lunch counters. There are no straight schools and gay schools (Well, not exactly. Remember NYC established it's own publiclly funded homosexual only school). The "plight" of homosexual is virtually non existant
