“We are survivors. We shall survive again and we shall be the strongest, most gentle people on this earth.”
Cleve Jones

“are we a queer and distinct people, with revolutionary potential born from our experiences—or are we really just like everybody else except for what we do in bed?”
Cleve Jones, When We Rise: My Life in the Movement

“I wasn’t an activist then. I would become one eventually, but at that time I did not yet see myself as an organizer or a leader, I saw myself as a foot soldier in the movement and as an active participant—not a bystander or observer—in a particular and extraordinary moment in history. I think that all of my friends felt some degree of obligation to at least show up, be counted, and stand with our brothers and sisters and to be as fierce and fabulous and free as possible”
Cleve Jones, When We Rise: My Life in the Movement
