I believe people who practice their beliefs in daily life are activists.

We are a complex species to observe

The state and the church seldom approve of anything I do. I don't need their approval. I don't aspire to the heterosexual nuclear family model

I am going to sing lesbian love songs and support gay rights no matter what. The rest is public relations.

An activist is one who is actively involved in creating community, whether that is locally in their neighborhood or internationally. It is an admirable quality.

You tend to be afraid when someone seems foreign to you. But if you aren't careful, that can lead to bigotry.

As the middle begins to feel safe enough to accept some of the so-called radical thinking, ideas move to the middle and a new edge is created.
