Freedom Riders Redux



     The Human Rights Campaign is sending a bus to tour the U.S. States that are unlikely to approve same-sex marriage willingly...like Alabama.
     It's reminiscent of the Freedom Riders bus tours that ended with thug kops and Klansman beating the civil rights demonstrators and burning the buses.
    We can only hope that the reception for this bus will be less violent.
     I've predicted that Alabama will be the last state...or may a tie between Mississippi and Alabama---to allow gay marriage, and no bus is going to change that.
     But there may be an awareness raising involved that's worth the effort.
