Do you believe you can sit back and do nothing

25 Feb

while the bigots slowly take away basic civil rights?

I only have one thing to say to you, and this quote says it best:

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

by Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945

This time they started with the Gays and Lesbians.
