The Gaytheist Agenda

Martin Luther King. Jr. was a significant force in the Civil Rights Movement for 15 years until felled by an assassin’s bullet on April 4, 1968. Though he is dead his legacy and his dream live on.

King advocated non-violent protest and activism as means of achieving civil rights, economic justice and other forms of equality. He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the March on Washington during which he made his historic I Have a Dream speech, opposed the Vietnam War, and much more. That he was cut down in his prime is indeed a travesty.

If only more would take the lead of Martin Luther King, Jr. and advocate equality, non-violence and tolerance. The world would be a much better place were they to do so.
