I think if he were alive today, Martin Luther King, Jr. would have spoken up for the Gay Men and Women in America who are fighting for Equal Rights. The quote below rings as true today as did when it was uttered from his mouth more than 30 years ago. It seems someone is always fighting for Equal Rights - it's the players in this tug of war that change.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.
