I Was A Georgia State Legislator For

Working In A Situation With Men And Women, And Seeing Women Take On Roles Equal To The Roles Taken By Men Made You Understand That, "hey, These People Can Do Things Too." And I Think It Made Me And Other People In The Movement Realize That We're Living In A Community Of Equals. And That Among Those Equals, They Have Equal Rights. And We Ought To Respect Their Rights If They Respected Ours.

There's This Big Debate That Goes On In America About What Rights Are: Civil Rights, Human Rights, What They Are? It's An Artificial Debate. Because Everybody Has Rights. Everybody Has Rights - I Don't Care Who You Are, What You Do, Where You Come From, How You Were Born, What Your Race Or Creed Or Color Is. You Have Rights. Everybody's Got Rights.

Unlike Mainstream Civil Rights Groups, Which Merely Sought Integration Of Blacks Into The Existing Order, Sncc Sought Structural Changes In American Society Itself.

The Humanity Of All Americans Is Diminished When Any Group Is Denied Rights Granted To Others.

If Your Bible Tells You That Gay People Ought Not Be Married In Your Church, Don't Tell Them They Can't Be Married At City Hall. Marriage Is A Civil Rite As Well A Civil Right, And We Can't Let Religious Bigotry Close The Door To Justice To Anyone.
