I Am A Quaker. And As Everyone

Black Gay Activists Should Try To Build Coalitions Of People For The Elimination Of All Injustice.

I Am An Opponent Of War And Of War Preparations And An Opponent Of Universal Military Training And Conscription; But Entirely Apart From That Issue, I Hold That Segregation In Any Part Of The Body Politic Is An Act Of Slavery And An Act Of War.

Twenty-five, 30 Years Ago, The Barometer Of Human Rights In The United States Were Black People. That Is No Longer True. The Barometer For Judging The Character Of People In Regard To Human Rights Is Now Those Who Consider Themselves Gay, Homosexual, Lesbian.

If We Want To Do Away With The Injustice To Gays It Will Not Be Done Because We Get Rid Of The Injustice To Gays. It Will Be Done Because We Are Forwarding The Effort For The Elimination Of Injustice To All. And We Will Win The Rights For Gays, Or Blacks, Or Hispanics, Or Women Within The Context Of Whether We Are Fighting For All.

Gays Are Beginning To Realize What Blacks Learned Long Ago: Unless You Are Out Here Fighting For Yourself Then Nobody Else Will Help You. I Think The Gay Community Has A Moral Obligation To Continue The Fight.
