Now we can clearly see why "Later" is not a viable strategy when it comes to people gaining equal rights.
When a segment of society, no matter how small, doesn't have equal rights, there is never going to be a "better time" to work towards their equality. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Yesterday I was informed that equal rights for transfolk are just a "personal agenda", a "special concern". Just more of those "special rights" I guess. And that was at Daily Kos.
