I think it’s just so appropriate that Rosa Parks will lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda. She will be the first woman to do so; and the symbolism of having this woman, who simply got tired of being treated as a second class citizen, honored in this way is very powerful.
I have to say, though, that we need more Rosa Parks courage in the gay community. People who do not sit in the back of the bus and do not put up with the evil and hatred spewing forth from yet another discriminatory era in this country.
Who will be the first gay civil rights pioneer to be honored by Congress and the nation?
