we're all familiar with black people being forced to sit on the back of the
bus years ago
and that has become up a rather strong symbol for extreme
discrimination and a not so good history here in the US
well you wouldn't expect anything like that to happen
nowadays right well I have this %uh
interesting little local news broadcast
let's take a listen and then we'll talk after so
showed up and that's where things start to go up
Ron MacLean his partner Chris Bowers flew into Albuquerque from Portland on
Friday June 28
two days after the nation's highest court meet historical links for same-sex
marriage couples
and the day before Albuquerque's pride fest they were here for a long awaited
road trip through the southwest but their excitement
soon died down because I told us via FaceTime he and his partner sat in the
front
wanted the shuttle buses holding hands we says
a driver discriminated against them eyesight
look at us look guys have any so a rainy
just poured out at me just okay if you're going to do that you're going to
the back of the bus
shocked in not wanting to cause problems the couple obeyed but ask the driver why
he had to move once the shuttle stop
I said well I think it's because you didn't like the fact that my partner's
hand
agassi now you're telling on yourself you know what
all my partner at that point like what
that's discrimination and then the driver just response we'll see
you tell yourself get a witness jumped in and hope the pressure
now I was completely how
anybody would be treated this way and the driver looks back at us he says also
with Polly
any points s
some poor contracts with private company theatre parking to run the rental car
shuttle buses
first and foremost it's absolutely unacceptable arm we immediately gone
touch with Center parking to few to assess
what exactly happened arm they acknowledge that this was
a mistake on the part other driver but mcquay says no one ever apologize to him
four fouls I took it personally still
upset I don't have any closure for neither St quite as before flying home
he and his partner had a different shuttle driver and had no problems while
holding hands that you say they have filed a complaint with the American
Civil Liberties Union
back to you okay let's say a standard parking manager says the driver was
inappropriate and got
carried away the company is now requiring
all drivers to take sensitivity training
let's put this issue to rest right now
there's been plenty people who are you with me on Twitter and elsewhere
that know you can make the comparison between the civil rights movement in
race and sexual orientation yes you can
in fact its almost the exact same thing
now what do I mean by that well when it comes to somebody's race
people can help its biological if you're born 18 your morning session
you're black you're black good morning banniker porn is bad
now just like we've all come to realize nowadays
or ninety-nine point nine percent of us up a
doesn't make sense to discriminant say you need is it on the back of the bus
you can eat at lunch counter
you have to stay separate from why people but in just like we realize it
this completely wrong and that's unacceptable and that's arbitrary
discrimination based on nothing
right if the same thing with sexual orientation we cover story on the show
the other day
we went through or everything that the science
knows thus far about that gay people so for example
there's certain things in terms of
your jeans and your chromosomes that point to conclusions
they have improved there's a gay gene but in there are indicators that's how
they
talk about in the article no.: specifically where those indicators are
furthermore the actual the literal brain structure a gay people
it for a game and their brain is but
a little bit more similar in structure to a straight female
which would make sense and vice versa is also true so
you know there would be %uh a lesbian hearst brain is similar to that
over straight male again it makes sense so that shows they
feel choose to be gay they it they're born with it
so so many more with their race and we know it's not okay to discriminate based
on that
why would be okay to discriminate based on gender orientation and how
have you might learn the lessons of history we'll ask that and we mock
all the people who thought but
yet we're standing up for what's right we don't think interracial people should
get married we think blacks belong in the back in the bus we believe in
separate but equal we don't believe in
you know mixing races okay those people
are the butt of jokes rightfully so today do you not realize
all-new anti-gay idiots out there but in not too long a time span
you're going to be the viewing the exact same way through the lens of history
wakey wakey let's go let's move along here come into 2013
drag your ass in there and what you want be remembered as the sick
big tits that you are
