I Believe In Social Dislocation And Creative

Today, Blacks Are No Longer The Litmus Paper Or The Barometer Of Social Change. Blacks Are In Every Segment Of Society And There Are Laws That Help To Protect Them From Racial Discrimination. The New ‘niggers’ Are Gays. It Is In This Sense That Gay People Are The New Barometer For Social Change. The Question Of Social Change Should Be Framed With The Most Vulnerable Group In Mind: Gay People.

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.

The Proof That One Truly Believes Is In Action.

My Activism Did Not Spring From Being Black...the Racial Injustice That Was Present In This Country During My Youth Was A Challenge To My Belief In The Oneness Of The Human Family.

If Anyone Thinks They're Going To Get Anything Out Of The Reagan Administration For Any Particular Group, They're Wrong! You Have To All Combine And Fight A Head-on Battle - In The Name Of Justice And Equality - And Even That's Going To Be Difficult. But If We Let Ourselves Get Separated So That We're Working For Gays Or School Children Or The Aged, We're In Trouble.
