TIME TO TAKE IT TO THE STREETS

An urgent national call for nonviolent direct action to achieve full equality

Today, we issue a national call for social change through the ongoing use of nonviolent direct action ‐ including civil disobedience when necessary – until the federal government extends equal protection in all fifty states on matters governed by civil law. Efforts to achieve full civil equality – such as the right to marry the person we love, the right to care for our families, the right to nondiscrimination in the workplace, and the right to serve openly in the military ‐ have awakened a sleeping giant within the soul of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ) community. We are tired of agonizing political setbacks, token change, defending ourselves against charges of moral inferiority, and being told to “wait” in the land we love while liberation occurs in other countries. Martin Luther King, Jr. acknowledged that real change takes time; yet he also warned against the “tranquilizing drug of gradualism” and instructed the oppressed to demand equality now – not on the convenient time schedule of those doing the oppressing. Legislative efforts toward equality, while essential, have proven woefully inadequate under current circumstances.

Today, we affirm that nonviolent strategies such as marches, vigils, demonstrations, public protests, and civil disobedience, seek to create what Dr. King called “healthy tension”. This constructive tension forces those who perpetuate injustice, and society as a whole, to pause, reflect, and consider the ugliness of their prejudices and the indecency embodied in their discrimination. In his Letter from Birmingham Jail, Dr. King wrote: “Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored.”

In addition to Dr. King’s legacy, we remember that the nonviolent legacy of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Audre Lorde, Barbara Deming, Bayard Rustin, Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Oscar Romero (and of course, HARVEY MILK) and countless others are deeply rooted in United States and world history. Nonviolent resistance continues to play a vital role in undermining the power of repressive political regimes.

We call on community organizers, activists, movement leaders, and all LGBTQ people across the nation to begin training the masses in nonviolent direct action. We have prepared a new online resource – www.nonviolence4equality.org – to assist in this vital task. As we resist injustice, we must avoid violence of the fist, tongue, and heart and remember that in truth we are challenging unjust systems, not people. In due course, we seek to be in community with those from whom we currently find ourselves divided.

We, the undersigned, call on LGBTQ and allied people everywhere to act with strength and integrity. Today, we reclaim nonviolent direct action as part of that process. Let’s understand that the vision of equality belongs to all of us and we are each responsible for taking action in pursuit of that dream. We all have the faculty to be powerful, influential, and prevailing. Let’s reinvest in our movement for social change and believe in our own capacity to effect that change. Let’s allow the boldness and hunger for justice to grow and contagiously spread to others.

Let’s take it to the streets

La Difference (Lyrics - Translation)

A Different Love

A different love
Unspoken love
A melody engraved within
A circumstance
There are no words
Just human touch
And now and then someone that speaks
To say they're wrong
And yet the skin will never once question the heart
There is a faith that is in love
To save the night
No word is spoken
The skies are open
Two men are in love
No need to proclaim that it ain't the same
That won't stop the doves
If only you could see it too
Somehow someday
Till the stars above can slow the pain
They chose to love

They'll walk on by
And breathe the sight
Of lovers' bloom the ones we paint in fairy tales
There ain't no cure
To lonely roads
No turning back to days of when
A kiss was safe
Although their eyes will never once wander around
Somehow they believe, they succeed
To tell the doves apart

No word is spoken
The skies are open
Two women're in love
No need to proclaim that it ain't the same
That won't stop the doves
If only you could see it too
Somehow someday
Till the stars above can slow the pain
They chose to love

From Verlaine to Rimbaud
Haven't we learned
To embrace, celebrate the special love that's true

Chorus

A different love
There are no words
No words at all...
