Farewell to the incomparable Coretta Scott King

king Coretta Scott King has passed away, which has us remembering that even when there were splits within her own family over same-sex marriage, she stood tall with us and defended our rights publicly - calling it a civil rights issue. "I have been an outspoken supporter of full civil and human rights for gay and lesbian people for many years," she told the press, "A constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages is a form of gay bashing and it would do nothing at all to protect traditional marriages."
