  8. 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)

  9. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    I know that we will be the sufferers if we let great wrongs occur without exerting ourselves to correct them.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
    Column (1943-08-13), “My Day”

  12. 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.
