32. Equal Rights Whaaaa?

I really am curious what that sign is about. Or what they say it is about. I can't even think of what they could mean no matter how hard I try to turn my brain around.

Other than that, as much as I want to laugh about this, there is some real sadness to it. I am sure most of the people involved are just assholes with a political agenda based in prejudice, but some of these people really think they are ex-gay, and that is really fucked up for them. Thinking about that takes this out of the political and into the personal and it's just really sad.

I know a lot of gay people and many of them really struggle/struggled with simply being who they are and loving who they love and it is bad enough when you are at least honest with yourself. But these people are just lost. It's so, so sad, and I just hope they have some genuine unconditional love in their lives.

I'm not criticizing those who are making jokes, just to be clear, my first several reactions to this were snarky as hell and some of you (TYY!) made me LOL with your comments.
