Consider

Years and years ago (more then likely before you were born) my friends and I went to a theater to see "The Ten Commandments".
It was shown in a predominantly black neighborhood but we didn't care.
Well, the point is, when Moses/Heston said "Let my people go!" there was this huge cheer and applause in the audience.
But, unfortunately, after wards there was the same old bullshit and alienation in real life.
No, it will take lots longer then 45 years to change that, but we must continue to work on it.
Because, even if it's not black vs gays, it's someone vs someone else.
