Panel 1:
Younger man (brown hair, brown jacket, yellow shirt): I don't see why people get so agitated about gay marriage. It's just symbolic. Those people can live together already.
Panel 2:
Older man (balding, gray hair, glasses, mustache, blue shirt), grinning: Exactly!
Panel 3:
The older man, on a bus, to the younger man: Oh, sorry, you can't ride in the front. It's not for people like you.
Panel 4:
Younger man: What?!
Older man (now revealed driving/seated at the front of the bus): Quit complaining. Back of the bus gets you to the same stops.
Votey:
A crudely drawn grinning bald man (the older man) says: See what I did there?

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a younger man in a brown jacket tells an older balding man with glasses and a mustache, 'I don't see why people get so agitated about gay marriage. It's just symbolic. Those people can live together already.' Panel 2: the older man grins and replies, 'Exactly!' Panel 3: the scene shifts to a bus; the older man tells the younger man, 'Oh, sorry, you can't ride in the front. It's not for people like you.' Panel 4: the younger man exclaims 'What?!' and the older man, now at the front of the bus, says, 'Quit complaining. Back of the bus gets you to the same stops.' The joke uses a racial-segregation 'back of the bus' analogy to skewer the 'it's just symbolic / separate but equal' argument against gay marriage. Votey: a crudely drawn grinning bald man (the older man) says, 'See what I did there?'
