  18. A quotation from Elie Wiesel

    Why were there so few? Was it that perilous to oppose evil? Was it really impossible to help? Was it really impossible to resist organized, systemitized, legalized cruelty and murder by showing concern for the victims, for one victim? Let us remember: What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.

    Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) Romanian-American novelist, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate.
    Forward to Carol Rittner & Sandra Meyers, Courage To Care — Rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust (1986)

  28. Seeing this "But I had a few people after that say, thank you so much for speaking out. And I was grateful that the message got through, but I couldn’t help but wish that those people had actually said something in the moment, because I was looking into a sea of faces who were hostile and didn’t want to hear the science."
    and recalling some incidents of protest etc
    I am thinking that more of us should learn how not to sit 'there' stunned, but work out how to speak up for right. It's hard because our socialisations kicks in and our anxiety has us thinking slowly -all the more reason to have mentally (at least) rehearsed how to do better...

  36. People are sharing #comingout stories.

    I grew up poor in the rural Midwest and was bullied by ya typical straights for that, my gayness, and probably also for being #neurodivergent.

    My parents were #secular, but my #father flickered between laughing at "gay jokes" and telling me he didn't mind gay people. Generally, we were too concerned with paying bills and not losing our home to even deal with gay issues. We had one #out gay in school, but he was different from me (many ways braver). I watched his #torment and desired to simply get out of that hell place. I always knew I was #gay, but I didn't feel I owed anyone that admission. If you've ever hurriedly asked someone if they're gay before they tell you, I hope you reflect on that. Maybe you stole that opportunity from them, and made it more difficult. I often wonder about #cishet dudes who are allies now, but sweep their previous transgressions under the rug out of shame. Including #bystander awkward laughter at #homophobia.
