Coming Out of the Closet
Sharing our stories, our tragedies and triumphs, is what
empowers us with the strength to face a heterosexual society.
By listening and really hearing each other, learning from
ourselves becomes our only substitute for role-models. We have our totured and tormented history, and our heroes have been eliminated, shunned and ignored. Our future, however, is a whole lot brighter. Thanks in part, to our ability to share our stories with each other and to love each other for who we are, not for who we aren't.
In Germany they came first for the commmunists,
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 trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
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 no one was left to speak up
