Clowns like Sean Penn see this as the next great civil rights crusade. In reality, there are no governmental restrictions/prohibitions on gays that are also not on every other American. In other words, gays get treated the same way (in the eyes of the law/government) as straight people do. There is unfortunately a sect of society that wants to do violence against gays. However, in the eyes of the law gays get more rights/priveledges in this situation. For instance, hate crimes. If my brother is murdered in cold blood, why is that less heinous than if a gay man gets murdered in cold blood.
What Sean Penn and others like him fail to see is the real civil rights crusade that is going on right underneath their noses. The fight for those that are not yet born. I would think that the fight for the approximately 50 million lives that have been aborted to be an important civil rights crusade he could go on.
Expect the calls for a Harvey Milk Federal Holiday to begin in earnest.
“Sean, git yo’ gun.”
