Back in June, Jasmyne Cannick delivered an inspirational speech to graduates at Cal State L.A.s first LGBT Pride Graduate Celebration. The theme: Find Your Role.
Meaning... that we all have a right and responsibility to contribute to the fight for equality and justice... and that black gay and lesbian people need to be involved at all levels, especially those who had just graduated and earned their college degrees. But no matter what your degree of involvement, it's important to find your role.
Now, here's a great way to find your role... if you're so inclined. Support the Black Caucus of the National Stonewall Democrats. Whether it's with your dollars, your voice, your willingness to write letters or e-mails, this is a great way for those of you looking to make a difference in the fight for social justice for the black gay and lesbian community. And if you're wondering "Why this community?", just remember that you can't have rights and equality for some while not supporting rights and equality for all.
