“Those filament-thin connections that tie our history together, those connections can also be the strong bonds that support a movement. And as that issue of ‘The Ladder‘ shows in black and white, those alliances, those bonds, were being forged, organized, and activated, by Ernestine and Dick, Barbara and Kay, Frank Kameny and others, years before those explosive nights outside the Stonewall Inn.”

"Now I think, compared to other lesbians, my ideas are farther to the left than theirs are. Most lesbians that I know endorse picketing, but would not themselves picket. So as far as ideas are concerned maybe we're on the same line, but I sort of go a little bit beyond it in that I WILL get on the picket line, in a different city."
This excellent episode of the tagged podcast is about Ernestine Eckstein (pictured). https://overcast.fm/+HXi8rFAk0

I think that anyone who calls themselves an American who believes in any kind of religion to deliberately allow someone to die or forces them into a position where they are going to die is unforgivable. -Shirley Willer

💔💛💚💙💜❤️ Love to my queer friends, my Muslim friends, my Floridians, my friends leading the fight against gun violence, and to all those who lost loved ones. (Inspired by a @BookishFeminist post.)

Notafraidofwords Love this post. Guapa has got to be one of the best books of the year for me! 8y
BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords Ditto! I pushed this into his hands for the post bc it's so wonderful. 🙊 8y
becausetrains @Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist and it's on my shortlist to read! 8y
Notafraidofwords @becausetrains oh it's a must read. It's a love letter to his country and his lover. It's so rare to see that so well done. But he did it gracefully. 8y
