Our Republican troll has been scolding gay people who want equal rights. Previous civil rights battles, he reminds us, were fought with "quiet dignity".
The civil rights marches of the 1950s and 1960s were quiet, polite affairs in which marchers gently asked The Man for equal rights and The Man wisely contemplated the marchers' request.
Equality was achieved without flamboyance or disruption of lives and no one had to go beyond societal norms.
The public behavior of all remained appropriate throughout the Movement.
And society changed without sacrifice . . .
