Do we really have civil rights for all in the city of Spartanburg?
I grew up in Gaffney in the 1940s and '50s. We shared a lot of simple joys back then, growing up in a small Southern town. But a lot of folks did not enjoy the same privileges and rights as I because they were not white. We accepted things then that are unthinkable today
Is that what is happening to the gay and lesbian people today because we think they are different?
Well, the time for just accepting the way things are is over. We have laws that protect against racial discrimination, and it's time to protect those of different sexual orientations. No one should be discriminated against for whom they love, for wanting to walk down the street holding hands, or for sharing things a free American should have the right to share.
Great leaders of our time understand that the civil rights of gay people must be recognized. They express it better than I can.

I'm too lazy to read all that shit, but I always loved Gaffney when I live in Greenville because the water tower always marked being close to home from trips to the North...
All hail the ass in the sky! (I know I've posted this before, but that is still my favorite water tower)
