Pride Month Quotes

Hate never wins out in the end. It instead goes always to its lonely, dusty end. George Takei
Pride is important because someone tonight still believes they're better off dead than being gay. Sterling Graves
LGBT people are some of the bravest and most potent change agents and leaders I have encountered, and  the most forceful defenders of the vulnerable and voiceless, because they know what it's like to be there. Ronan Farrow
The more I've been able to learn about gay rights and equal pau and gender equity and racial inequality, the more that it all intersects. You can't really pick it apart. It's all intertwined. Megan Rapinoe
We deserve to experience love fully, equally, without shame and without compromise. Elliot Page
It takes no compromise to give people their rights... it takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give people freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression. Harvey Milk
Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. James Baldwin
