Minority Rights Must Never Be Subjected To Popular Opinion

This blurry picture is of Matt Peterson(left), Bob Halfhill and Duane at the bottom of the Capitol's Senate stairs in, I believe, the spring of 2004. It was a Saturday near the end of the session that year. The four of us were the only anti-amendment demonstrators. We were at the bottom of stairs because the bigots occupied the entire staircase. This was when people were allowed to protest on the stairs, which they are not now allowed to do.
