I have had a dream in which children can play together, in which people can work together, and in which families can live happily side by side, regardless of their community or ethnic background or their religious beliefs."

What if some of the children playing together were gay? Would he be happy then?
I assume the other "King" reference is to distinguish MLK from Jesus Christ, i.e. THE King (unless you are an Elvis fan of course). Although it might be King Billy. Or is The Big Man falling into the Margaret Thatcher Royal "We" trap...
