Inspired by Martin Luther King's vision of equality, we look back at how LGBT rights intersect with the broader movement for civil rights in this country. Revisiting the first gay rights protests, the gay men of color who joined the Million Man March and our first openly gay federal judge, we celebrate those who stood up and spoke out for full LGBT equality.
Whenever I hear Dr. Martin Luther, Jr speak his I HAVE A DREAM speach, I always cry!He was SO eloquent and passionate about the black experience in the US! Great man and he deserved the Noble Peace Prize and our country's eternal love and respect!

Kind of weird that "Democrat Gays" use "Republican Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr" as a backbone to human rights ... But, call Rupublicans "Full of Hate"
