Today is our third Wedding Anniversary. I have never more enjoyed exercising my civil rights. #wedding #weddings #marriage #marriages #equalwedding #equalweddings #gaywedding #gayweddings #minority #minorities #minoritycommunity #minoritycommunities #bigotry #bigotryiswrong #bigotryisstupid #endbigotry #endhomophobia #homophobia #homophobiaiswrong #ally #allies #gayally #gayallies #support #gaysupport #gayrights #civilrights #civilright #husbands #anniversary

This passage from Dr King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" remains essential reading:

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

And prosecutors won federal #criminal convictions against the 4 #Minneapolis officers involved in #GeorgeFloyd’s death. They are pursuing #CivilRight cases against officers in #Louisville, #Memphis & elsewhere.

"...if calling for the genocide of Jews is disruptive of the educational environment, it is a violation of the codes of conduct, even if it would otherwise be constitutionally protected political speech."

And yet the author is unable to provide a context where such a #civilright s violation isn't deserving of an investigation by the #fbi .
