This article focuses on current civil movements against social-political developments for providing equality and civil rights to women and gays in the U.S. Twenty-five strange summers after Woodstock, tens of thousands of teenagers from a Christian movement called True Love Waits came to Washington DC to plant pledges of celibacy on the National Mall. Fifty thousand white, middle-aged then calling themselves the Promise Keepers gathered in a Boulder, Colorado, football stadium to pledge opposition to equality for women, gay rights and, according to The Washington Post, "major aspects of liberal society." Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan told an all-female audience in Boston to prefer household activities than professions.
