Coretta Scott King: Homophobia Same as Racism |
Unlike Rightwing Fundamentalists, someone with actual moral stature.
http://www.hatecrime.org/subpages/coretta.html
"Homophobia is like RACISM and anti-Semitism and other forms of
BIGOTRY in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to
deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood. This sets the stage
for further repression and violence that spread all too easily to
victimize the next minority group."
*Coretta Scott King, 4/1/1998
"FREEDOM from DISCRIMINATION based on sexual orientation is surely a
FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT in any great democracy, as much as freedom
from racial, religious, gender, or ethnic discrimination."
-Coretta Scott King,11/9/2000.

And:
-
-³My husband understood that all forms of discrimination and persecution
were unjust and unacceptable for a great democracy. He believed that none
of us could be free until all of us were free, that a person of conscience
had no alternative but to defend the human rights of all people. I want to
reaffirm my determination to secure the fullest protection of the law for
all working people, regardless of their sexual orientation...it is right,
just, and good for America."
-- Coretta Scott King, Widow of Martin Luther King Jr. and a powerful
activist for civil rights in her own right, September 1997
"Freedom and justice cannot be parcelled out in pieces to suit political
convenience. Like Martin, I don't believe you canstand for freedom for one
group of people and deny it to others." -- Coretta Scott King Widow of
Martin Luther King Jr. and a powerful activist for civil rights in her own
right, September 1997
"Lesbian and gay people are a permanent part of the American workforce,
who currently have no protection from the arbitrary abuse of their rights
on the job.
For too long, our nation has tolerated the insidious form of
discrimination against this group of Americans who have worked as hard as
any group, paid their taxes like everyone else, and yet have been denied
equal protection under the law."
-- Coretta Scott King,
civil rights leader & widow of slain civil
rights leader the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
"For many years now, I have been an outspoken supporter of civil and human
rights for gay and lesbian people. I've always felt that homophobic
attitudes and policies were unjust and unworthy of a free society and must
be opposed by all Americans who believe in democracy."
"I still hear people say that I should not be talking about the rights of
lesbian and gay people and I should stick to the issue of racial justice.
But I hasten to remind them that Martin Luther King Jr. said, 'Injustice
anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.'"
"I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream to
make room at the table of brother- and sisterhood for lesbian and gay
people."
"Gays and lesbians stood up for civil rights in Montgomery [and] Selma
[Alabama], in Albany, Georgia, and St. Augustine, Florida, and many other
campaigns of the civil rights movement. Many of these courageous men and
women were fighting for my freedom at a time when they could find few
voices for their own, and I salute their contributions."
"When we allow our institutions to exclude minorities from full
citizenship rights, I believe we are cooperaitng with evil. Homophobia is
like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks
to deny a large group of people their humanity, their dignity and
personhood."
"This sets the stage for further repression and violence that spread all
too easily to victimize the next minority group."
"As Martin once said, 'We are all tied together in a single garment of
destiny, an inescapable network of mutuality. I can never be what I ought
to be until you are allowed to be what you ought to be."
Coretta Scott King, Chicago, March 31 1997.
"I have no doubt that homophobia has worsened and prolonged the AIDS
crisis. It is particularly sad to me when I hear black people, including
some in leadership positions, making homophobic comments and attacking the
human rights of gay and lesbian people.
African Americans have suffered for too long because of prejudice and
bigotry to be parroting the rhetoric of the Ku Klux Klan and other hate
groups who bash people because of their sexual orientation." Coretta Scott
King October 1999
