The mere fact that I exist means that I deserve to be here and to express myself any damn why I please.

Prejudice is learned. What will you teach others through your actions and words?

Bigotry lives not just in our words, but in our actions, thoughts, and institutions.

If you can't tell from my rap lyrics already, yes I am a feminist. And when I'm saying "hoe" or "bitch" I am actually referring to men. ...That sounded bad, in someway. But at the end of the day, I'm sick of rappers using "bitches" and "hoes" as terms towards women. Feminists are NOT a hate group. Feminists are not all female. Nor has it got an anti-male agenda. It's about equality! I've had a weird, special bond with women since I was a kid. And it's just a shame really that I'm gay.

It's hard not to be a fighter when you're constantly under siege.

Those with unearned privileges often spin things as 'political correctness' to further silence those they wish to oppress.

Rainbow on the inside!_ He giggles. __an you imagine if we all took them for Pride? Dozens of us. Hundreds. Thousands? All of us marching, rainbow to the core?

Can you imagine, somebody telling you, your love for your dearly beloved is a sin! Can you imagine, somebody telling you, women are inferior to men, and are meant only serve the men! Can you imagine, somebody telling you, a man can have multiple wives, and yet be deemed civilized! Here that somebody is a fundamentalist ape - a theoretical pest from the stone-age, that somehow managed to survive even amidst all the rise of reasoning and intellect.

Privilege doesn't just insulate people from the consequences of their prejudice, it cuts them off from their humanity.

Homosexuality is immutable, irreversible and nonpathological.

Love has no gender - compassion has no religion - character has no race.

Being homosexual is no more abnormal than being lefthanded.

Homosexuals are not made, they are born.

Either you are homophobic or you are a human - you cannot be both.

The Catholic Church standing in "solidarity" with members of the LGBT community while condemning their behavior as "sinful" is a little like attempting to stand with two feet in one shoe. "Love the sinner, hate the sin" sounds really high-minded until you realize the only sin committed was being born different.

Only by speaking out can we create lasting change. And that change begins with coming out.

I've fought for religious freedom and I can tell you that anti-gay 'religious freedom' bills aren't it.
