The quotation on my pink triangle pin reads:
”In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I
didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak
up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for
the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up
because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then
they came for the Catholics, and I
didn’t speak up because I was a
Protestant. Then they came for
me –- and by that time
no one was left
to speak up.”
~Pastor Martin Niemoller
Kinda makes it seem like more of a human rights issue than a gay issue, huh?
