They hate gays so much that they will defend monuments to men who broke their oaths while they remove a rainbow crosswalk, or change the name of a ship because the namesake is notable gay.
They would rather honor people who fought against the United States than even have a smidgen of paint on some asphalt to memorialize 53 gays murdered in a hate crime. It isn't about cowardice, it's about intent. This isn't being afraid, this is being aggressively anti ... so much so that they prefer to honor men who took up arms against our nation in order to keep subjugated millions of black slaves.
These conservative fucks would rather honor defenders of slavery than gay folk. This is not cowardice. It's aggression. They are telling everyone what they stand for.
When very stupid people make the claim that the Civil War wasn't about slavery, but about state's rights, I've found it very useful to ask them, 'State's rights to do WHAT, exactly?'
