“Because gay people were so much more visible, violence against gays was more common and reported on. But they were definitely related to each other. In the wake of AIDS, gay people felt like they had to organize, become much more active and visible. AIDS fostered a gay rights movement that made gay people more powerful and more vulnerable at the same time.” PeopleMadeFeltPowerfulCommonRightsViolenceMovementGayActiveAidsVulnerableRelatedVisibleOrganizeGay RightsGay People Author:Dale Peck
“You condition a vulnerable boy at puberty to become aroused by brutality. It's the violence, not the nudity. Frankly, I wouldn't mind if every teenage boy had a subscription to Playboy.

“In 1990, when we started the Black Community Crusade for Children, we were always talking about all children, but we paid particular attention to children who were not white, who were poor, who were disabled, and who were the most vulnerable.Parents didn't think their children would live to adulthood, and the children didn't think they were going to live to adulthood. That's when we started our first gun-violence campaign. We've lost 17 times more young black people to gun violence since 1968 than we lost in all the lynching in slavery.” PeopleThinkingFirstsChildrenYoungLostParentBlackCommunityWhitePoorAttentionTalkingViolenceParticularGunPaidSlaveryCampaignsVulnerableBlack PeopleAdulthoodDisabledCrusadesGun ViolenceLynchingBlack Community Author:Marian Wright Edelman

“In The Shining, you love Shelley Duvall. You love Jack Nicholson. You're let into the intimacy of that violence and it's emotional and it's physical. We're let in very close. So I think a good horror film has to pull you in very deeply inside. Halloween is a good horror film because we love Jamie Lee Curtis, we're brought very deeply in right when she's babysitting the kids. She's going from house to house, all those houses have windows that you can look in.
