Throughout history, in the courts, in Congress, in the media, and on main streets across the nation, there have always been, and continue to be, people attempting to silence our voices and erase our community. They openly challenge our right to exist as Americans with the same rights enjoyed by others.

We must be willing to stand up and to speak out against all forms of injustice, discrimination, and violence wherever it exists and in whatever form it takes.  Equality before the law is the guiding principle that has provided the foundation for the civil rights advances of the past two centuries.

As we commemorate 50 years since the Stonewall Riots, we must all stand up with pride, and shhhOUT!

We shhhOUT! proudly about our past, our present, and most definitely as we move forward into the future!
