“So you think that money is the root of all evil? [...] Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?”

“So, you want us to stop saying gay.
Want to remove the right to acknowledge the truth of our bodies and hearts
and eradicate the language that names us
As if this will somehow keep you safe from our existence
As if you can see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil us into oblivion.
It was you who birthed us into a legacy of code makers and breakers.
Humans who took their language underground.
Cast spells and had wordless conversations with our ancestors
Who gifted us new ways to speak in the open air.
We painted pink triangles on the walls of
The underground bomb shelters you built to bury us alive
Left a trail of glitter pointing to the inborn light in our chests
So the ones who came looking for us would know how we lived.
We stole back the vernacular you created to hide us back from the tips of your forked tongues
Alchemized the sounds that twisted your mouth into symbols of reclamation
Used your vilification to dig ourselves out of the closets you constructed around us
Made our way blazing and victorious into the sun.
When AIDS devastated an entire glittering generation
We crafted a whispered language of the isolated hospital room and empty funeral
That can only be heard by bodies
That have been asked to hold a loss too deep to name.
When Matthew Shephard's bloody and broken body
Was found tied to that barbed wire fence, the only clean part of his skin the trails of his desperate tears
We twisted from the ethers an entirely new way to name collective grief and fear, one far too infinite to hold alone
It has always been our tenacious together than holds us.
Drive us underground
We will always surface
Singing words you can never own
Because don’t have the range to hear them.
Go ahead, take away our words,
We will birth a whole new language
You’ve been sending your armies for us since the beginning of time
But we were born for battle.
You wonder why we are still here?
You made us this strong.
You think getting rid of a word will silence us?
You’d have to ban them all.”
“So you want we to play a game?
...
Aha, I like that...!
I FUCKING LOVE IT!”

One day, you will be given that which will set your heart on fire and you will become a new person, the person you were always meant to be.”

“So you will meet many ’someones’ who will give a new definition to your name.
And you can not build walls, must not close the door and please don’t hide,
because if you ask me about hurt
and love
I will say love. Love because the hurt will come and go no matter what, but only love makes it worth while. Only love can cure it.
Don’t be scared. Go. Love.”
