In this, a blog based on human sexual interactions, I thought it fitting to share this with you. In a world where our minds seem so heavily centered on sex and sexuality, we often forget the people behind the sexual masks. We also forget that some are still denied basic civil liberties and protections based on who they are sexually attracted to, and worse, we forget that, in this the 21century, our USA laws still for the most part condone such outrageous civil rights violations. On October 10-11, one of the largest marches on Washington D.C. occurred. In this historic moment, the movement once known as the gay rights movement was unveiled for what it had always been: A Civil Rights movement. Staceyann Chin’s poem represents everything the march stood for, everything the movement stands for, and everything I believe in. I hope you enjoy.
