"I STILL HEAR PEOPLE SAY THAT I SHOULD NOT BE TALKING ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF LESBIAN AND GAY PEOPLE AND I SHOULD STICK TO THE ISSUE OF RACIAL JUSTICE. BUT I HASTEN TO REMIND THEM THAT MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. SAID, 'INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE.' I APPEAL TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.'S DREAM TO MAKE ROOM AT THE TABLE OF BROTHER- AND SISTERHOOD FOR LESBIAN AND GAY PEOPLE. HOMOPHOBIA IS LIKE RACISM AND ANTI-SEMITISM AND OTHER FORMS OF BIGOTRY IN THAT IT SEEKS TO DEHUMANIZE A LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE, TO DENY THEIR HUMANITY, THEIR DIGNITY AND PERSONHOOD. THIS SETS THE STAGE FOR FURTHER REPRESSION AND VIOLENCE THAT SPREAD ALL TOO EASILY TO VICTIMIZE THE NEXT MINORITY GROUP. FOR MANY YEARS NOW, I HAVE BEEN AN OUTSPOKEN SUPPORTER OF CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS FOR GAY AND LESBIAN PEOPLE. GAYS AND LESBIANS STOOD UP FOR CIVIL RIGHTS IN MONTGOMERY, SELMA, IN ALBANY, GA. AND ST. AUGUSTINE, AND MANY OTHER CAMPAIGNS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. MANY OF THESE COURAGEOUS MEN AND WOMEN WERE FIGHTING FOR MY FREEDOM AT A TIME WHEN THEY COULD FIND FEW VOICES FOR THEIR OWN, AND I SALUTE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS."

"ALL FORMS OF OPPRESSION SEEK TO DESTROY THE VERY NATURE OF THE PERSON IT AFFLICTS. AND ALL WHO ARE OPPRESSED OFTEN EXPERIENCE DEEP ISOLATION, FEAR, SHAME, AND PAIN. QUEER PEOPLE THEN HAVE THEIR OWN BEAUTIFUL STORY TO TELL ABOUT OVERCOMING SUCH OPPRESSION. OUR EXPERIENCES OF OPPRESSION ARE AS POWERFUL AND PROFOUND, AS ARE OUR STORIES OF TRIUMPH IN OVERCOMING ADVERSITY. WHAT AN ANCIENT LEGACY WE BELONG TO - THIS SOCIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENT. WE STAND AMONG OTHER GREAT AND NOBLE PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOUGHT THIS BATTLE BEFORE US......AND WON. WE STAND NOW READY, FEARLESS, AND WITHOUT SHAME. WE STAND IN A PLACE OF HONOR, EQUALLY BESIDE ALL PEOPLE LONGING FOR HUMAN RIGHTS - TO UPLIFT THEM, TO ENCOURAGE THEM, TO INSPIRE THEM, AND TO BEAR THEM UP IN OUR COMMON STRUGGLE FOR EQUALITY."
