Bless you Cat.
The power is really ours, but we have to reach out to find it and sieze it. This
requires working with others.
An example:
The modern gay rights movement began in 1950 when a Communist Party labor
organizer named Harry Hay, who had come up with the radical notion that
homosexuals are a distinct cultural minority and deserve equal treatment under
the law, met Dale Jennings, a man who came to agree with him.
Fifty years ago, the gay rights movement in the US consisted entirely of four
gay men and two lesbians meeting secretly behind locked doors in a house in Los
Angeles. It was called the Mattachine Society.
The world has really changed for queers in the last fifty years.
It all began with one person having a dream of changing the world and finding
another person who could share the dream.
We are the American People.
We have the power to change the world.
