About a month ago I decided to stop trying to fight to get my basic US citizen rights upheld

Now that is a completely different take on this. Interesting. I'm going to have to turn that one over in my head for a little bit. But I do like the idea that if people are up in arms about the sanctity of marriage that something is done regarding that rather than keeping it away from people...

The agressive satire is outrageous and thought-provoking. I heart it for that reason.

Taking lessons from history (both on whole and specifically in the lgbt community) a dual effort has proven effective. An outrageous attack of police and law resulted in a movement which hasn't stopped (Stonewall). One fedup woman decided she wasn't going to move, to hell with folks who accused her of being uppity - and she inspired thousands to stop riding the bus. A group of over taxed jumped on board and started a tea party - highly undignified in contrast to proper British society.

The strategy is not unique. The satire is meant to take an offensive which stirs thought and challenges status quo.
