It boggles my mind that people don't see what side of history they are on, but I honestly don't think some of them do. In this picture - I think these people 50 years ago thought they were standing up for good old fashioned family values. I don't think it is as simple as people are just stupid, I think it is cognitive dissonance or something.
But people make me sad sometimes.

(63,068 posts)I sat there and cried. I was @10 to 15 those years. I was always so incredibly taken by their courage.
Here we are 50 years later - same shit happening.
Not sure if I was crying in honor of their courage or that we as a nation are headed backwards so fast.
