What Tyranny Could Exceed A Tyranny That

In America, You Can Segregate The People, But The Problems Will Travel. From Slavery To Equal Rights, From State Suppression Of Dissent To Crime, Drugs And Unemployment, I Can't Think Of A Supposedly Black Issue That Hasn't Wasted The Original Black Target Group And Then Spread Like Measles To Outlying White Experience.

If We Even Tolerate Any Oppression Of Gay And Lesbian Americans, If We Join Those Who Would Intrude Upon The Choices Of Our Hearts, Then Who Among Us Shall Be Free?

To Tell The Truth Is To Become Beautiful, To Begin To Love Yourself, Value Yourself. And That's Political, In Its Most Profound Way.

As I Think About Anyone Or Anything -- Whether History Or Literature Or My Father Or Political Organizations Or A Poem Or A Film -- As I Seek To Evaluate The Potentiality, The Life-supportive Commitment And Possibilities Of Anyone Or Any Thing, The Decisive Question Is Always Where Is The Love?

I Think I Have Come To A Place Where I'm Able To Feel More Comfortable About Being Honest.
