CNN Opinion: The secret gay agenda

Good read...

I wonder if black people would be still in the fields picking cotton today if the 13th Amendment -- the one abolishing slavery -- was placed on the ballot back in 1865.

I wonder if Hillary Clinton would be at home baking cookies instead of serving as secretary of state if women's suffrage was put to a vote back in 1919.

In other words, I wonder just how far along we would be as a society if the oppressive majority held all of the legislative and judicial power over the oppressed minority, essentially yanking the teeth out of Congress and the Supreme Court.

I'm sure you've heard a lot about the gay agenda, but may not know what's in it. Here's what you do: Download a copy of the United States Constitution, read it. Everything the LGBT community wants is in there.

because I didn't read that intent from it, though I guess because it was a black man giving the speech, that it's inevitable that some would reopen said wounds. He said nothing in this opinion piece that wasn't true. It really is a constitutional matter and the rights of a minority should never be voted on by the majority.

Has nothing to do with his race, has to do with attitudes on DU a couple of years ago on what we should be fighting for and what we were told to wait for (that was not a good time to be LGBT on DU).
