In reference to Texas Gay Bar Raid

There was a recent thread about whether you should give your name to the police. In the above example, it would appear that gathering names was the least of the cops worries.
We often hear how much progress has been made in accepting gays into the mainstream, and the rights that have been gained in the 40 years since the Stonewall riots. Don't be fooled, there is still a seething underbelly of slime in this society that will crack your head open if you are openly gay. Not just in Texas, but in numerous small towns and Hicksvilles throughout America.
We need to be as vigilante today in preserving rights for all Americans without regard to race, religion, creed, or sexual orientation as those before us were.
