Black gay activists should try to build coalitions of people for the elimination of all injustice.

If people do not organize in the name of their interest, the world will not take them as being serious. And that is the chief reason that every person who is gay should join some gay organization. Because he must prove to the world that he cares about his own freedom.

You have to join every other movement for the freedom of people.

I believe there are certain types of movements which cannot be married.

I would say except when I have been attacked the black community has seldom seen fit to even mention the gay aspect. And since when I have been attacked I have usually been defended by the black community, I would say that the black newspapers have played it very straight. If I was attacked they simply published that I was attacked, if I was defended they simply said I had been defended. But I don't think they have taken any effort at maligning me or maligning gays or making any effort to give to people anything that wasn't news.

Let us be enraged about injustice, but let us not be destroyed by it.

The organizers and perpetuators of segregation are as much the enemy of America as any foreign invader.
