At times in southern history freeing slaves, desegregation and interracial marriage seemed like impossible dreams too. More often than not they had to be dragged kicking and scratching into modern times, but it will happen.

Good for them. What a huge uphill battle they've got.
BTW, looks like they filmed that on a high school football field. (Big "AHS" in the background of some shots.) I hope they don't get in trouble for doing that.

At the BLT film festival there was a very good documentary about Mississippi and the Gay folk there. The struggles they have, the courage they have. The progress they have made. We can support them. And it was nice to see that Gay folk are not just young white men in tight shirts.

When our president was born, his parent's marriage was illegal in most Southern States. One generation can make a huge change.

how many hundreds of thousands of enlightened Democraps are willing to die to force homosexual "marriage" on the south?
when the issue was slavery you girls were the ones fighting to keep it legal.....

Can I say I'm frightened for these brave souls? I believe the battle's worth fighting, and want to support them in much the same way as the Northerners supported the Southern advocates of civil rights in the 60s. Whether that's money or time, I'm in.

I like the video. Of course, I'm biased because I'm a former band geek. But I like the simplicity of it, and I could feel a lot of sincerity from the people in the vid. The two White gay guys adopting the Black children is a powerful unspoken message too.
I can't wait to see them push ahead in January.
