RADICAL HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVIST

This was on The Gaytheist Agenda blog. Short and sweet and I felt it should be repeated:

Radical Homosexual Activist:
rad⋅i⋅cal ho⋅mo⋅sex⋅u⋅al ac⋅tiv⋅ist
Am. Eng. Late 20th Cent.

A gay person who has the audacity to demand equal rights from people who shouldn’t have the authority to withhold them in the first place.

Thus ends today’s vocabulary lesson.

I especially like the part about having one's rights taken away by people who should not have the authority to withhold them.

How many of you Catholics, Protestants, Mormons, etc. would sit still while YOUR right to marry was being voted on? Would you think this is something that shouldn't even be put up for a vote? That the very idea that such a freedom can be taken from by a majority of the people shouldn't exist?

Not all that uncommon. Interracial marriage was illegal in many states all the way up through the 70's.
