Actually equality is something formed from within oneself. President Lincoln freed the black slaves back in the 19th century. It took Martin Luther King in the late 20th century to show them that they needed to claim that equality for themselves.

The Democrats can't provide them with prosperity by taxing the rich. That is just their con.
Homosexuals have equal protection under the law. That doesn't entitle them to automatic inclusion in every program, entitlement, exemption, ect. the government provides its citizens. They like everyone else they must meet the criteria. Like everyone else all programs don't apply to them. In most of the 50 states marriage doesn't apply to them.
