Zea, a 7-year-old first grader, stood firm in the face of hate over the weekend at a celebration of the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage. When a preacher began ranting at her through a microphone, little Zea quietly waved her rainbow flag and never backed down.
Kind of reminds of the guy who stood in front of that tank back in China in 1989.

Legal Question: Hobby Lobby Versus Marriage Equality Decision
Do these two decisions lead to another SCOTUS ruling when government officals opt out of performing marriage ceremonies based on their "sincerely" held religious beliefs?

In my lifetime African-American children have been blown up and African-American adults shot down.
Both incidents in a church.
Incidents separated by 52 years in time
All of this reinforces my belief you can't let the racists win. Where they destroy, create healing.
They shall not win. EVER.
