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.
Bayard RustinBoth morally and practically, segregation is to me a basic injustice. Since I believe it to be so, I must attempt to remove it.

To accept it is to perpetuate it.
