Op-ed: A Call to Action
As the Supreme Court considers marriage equality for the first time, activists Cleve Jones and David Mixner call for demonstrations in March.
“How long? Not long, because no lie can live forever.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke these words in Montgomery, Ala., on March 25, 1965, when the freedom marchers from Selma arrived at the State Capitol. They inspired us in our youth as they inspired the nation.
Between us, we have more than 80 years of experience in the movement for peace and social justice. In particular, as gay men, we have fought for the rights and dignity of our own community, known today as LGBT. We do not claim that age necessarily brings wisdom, but it does bring memories and we have many.
