Proud Liberal Dem

The good thing though is that such bigotry seems to getting less and less acceptable with each passing generation and fewer people are supportive of such anti-GLBTQ efforts (and more people are able and willing to fight them). The truth of the matter is that bigoted people eventually get old and die.
I do wonder if people whom have devoted their lives fighting against abortion rights and equal rights for GLBTQ persons get a real sense of satisfaction and "job well done" every night? How many of them go to their graves feeling like they really accomplished something by boycotting the Girl Scouts because they choose to be an inclusive organization, helping shut down abortion clinics, endanger the lives (and livelihoods) of abortion providers/staff, and, of course, ensuring that gays and lesbians can't (in most states still) marry the persons they love?
