Republican Lesbians are Unicorns?

This is an article from the New York Times.  I thought that it was interesting because it compared republican lesbians to unicorns because of their rarity.  The most shocking part of this was the woman who helped write the law that bans same-sex marriage is now fighting to overturn that same law.  This just goes to show how policies are fluid and how America changes throughout the years.  The gay rights movement is parallel to the women's suffrage movement as well as the African-American suffrage movement.
