If A Man Had Nothing

We Have A Lot More Work To Do In Our Common Struggle Against Bigotry And Discrimination. I Say "common Struggle" Because I Believe Very Strongly That All Forms Of Bigotry And Discrimination Are Equally Wrong And Should Be Opposed By Right-thinking Americans Everywhere. Freedom From Discrimination Based On Sexual Orientation Is Surely A Fundamental Human Right In Any Great Democracy, As Much As Freedom From Racial, Religious, Gender, Or Ethnic Discrimination.

Nonviolence First Changes The Individual.

As One Whose Husband And Mother-in-law Have Died The Victims Of Murder And Assassination, I Stand Firmly And Unequivocally Opposed To The Death Penalty For Those Convicted Of Capital Offenses. An Evil Deed Is Not Redeemed By An Evil Deed Of Retaliation. Justice Is Never Advanced In The Taking Of A Human Life. Morality Is Never Upheld By A Legalized Murder.

I Still Hear People Say That I Should Not Be Talking About The Rights Of Lesbian And Gay People And I Should Stick To The Issue Of Racial Justice. But I Hasten To Remind Them That Martin Luther King Jr. Said, 'injustice Anywhere Is A Threat To Justice Everywhere.' I Appeal To Everyone Who Believes In Martin Luther King Jr.'s Dream To Make Room At The Table Of Brother- And Sisterhood For Lesbian And Gay People.

The Greatest Violence Is Seeing A Child Go To Bed Hungry.
