    * The Bilerico Project - and my own words - were used to exploit.
    * A former gay-leader was cited to deny transgender equality.
    * A child was booed for her civil rights analogy, a plea for marriage equality.
    * And an oppressed minority played the oppressor.

It was a sad day; a mournful moment of déjà vu in the Free State and for LBGT citizens across America.
