She’s awesome. A few bits from an entry by
“We are losing. And this loss is happening because many people feel we need to be quiet, move slowly, don’t push, sit in the back of the bus, take the abuse, don’t rock the boat, and be patient. I’ve seen people say time and again that if we’re quiet and stop shouting, then acceptance will come. People are voting DOMA in because we’re too pushy, they’re not ready. If we ‘force’ the issue the answer will be no, so we need to be good little children and behave, then maybe we’ll get a cracker. Patience above all is counseled.
Fuck patience. Waiting hat in hand, gains nothing.”
“But it’s a truth that we are only as free as the least free among us. When we said “Colored people may not use facilities that white people use”, that effected everyone, colored or not. Black or white, or brown, or purple. It damaged everyone living that way. And if you really think about it, you can see the numerous levels of damage, but I’ll spell out one for you. When you tell a child that someone is ‘less than’ because of their skin tone, whether that child is black or white…doesn’t it do harm? If they believe they’re better, more entitled, etc. because they’re white…doesn’t that harm the child? If they believe they’re less than, not entitled, whatever because they’re black, doesn’t that also do harm? And when they ask why, because these things are NOT obvious to children, hate is learned…the damage is even deeper. It leaves visible scars across society.”
“And if in the end, you can look at love (between two legally and mentally compentant people) and condemn that love simply because they’re the same gender…frankly I pity you.”
“They miss the love. And in missing that, they miss the true beauty and wonderment of the world. And it leaves an ugly scar in its wake.
That’s what I am fighting. And that’s what I am fighting for.”
