I’d like to see this theme expanded to other topics and adopted as a rallying point for progressives:
Any force that tries to make you feel shame for being who you are, and loving who you love, is a form of tyranny over your mind. And it must be rejected, resisted, and defeated.
— Al Gore, speaking at the Human Rights Campaign Gala on March 25, 2006, at the Century Plaza Hotel.
Tyrrany over the mind…says it perfectly to me.
