These pics of struggle sadden my heart. We see these "Anti-gay marriage pro-bush" people screaming nothing but hatred toward our own Latina/o communities. These people preach the gospel and curse us out in the same tongue. I wonder if they would shut up if we gave Bush or their churches 1 million dollars...I bet you they would stay silent then, and just talk about our communities or atleast behind our backs. Come on gente, we are trying to fight the same people that scolded Clinton about smoking weed, and at the same time staying nothing about the Bush snorting cocaine back in the days. IGNANT CATS! excuse my ebonics. lol

Thank you!
