"
The essence of why we seek equality has never, ever, been blurred. We seek it for the same reason people of color seek it, we seek it for the same reason women seek it, we seek it for the same reason disabled people seek it, we seek it for the same reason poor people seek it, we seek it for the same reason homosexual people seek it, we seek it for the same reason that marginalized people everywhere, of every circumstance, have always sought for equality throughout human history.
We seek it because we are human beings, and because we believe that all human beings are created equal, that they are endowed inherently with certain natural and unalienable rights, and that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. We seek it because we believe this is true whether we are male, female, neither, both, or somewhere in-between, and we do this to secure these Blessings not only for ourselves, but for our Posterity. We, even we here, hold the power, and bear the responsibility. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.
"Gemma Seymour, 24 February 2011, (by way of Thomas Jefferson, Gouverneur Morris, and Abraham Lincoln)
