Women Believe Gay
In my dreams is a country where the state is the church and the church the people: three in one and one in three. it is a commonwealth in which work is play and play is life: three in one and one in three. it is a temple in which the priest is the worshiper and the worshiper the worshipped: three in one and one in three. it is a godhead in which all life is human and all humanity divine: three in one and one in three.

The movement of the waves, of winds, of the earth is ever in the same lasting harmony. we do not stand on the beach and inquire of the ocean what was its movement of the past and what will be its movement of the future. we realize that the movement peculiar to its nature is eternal to its nature. the dancer of the future will be one whose body and soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of that soul will have become the movement of the body.

The gay rights movement of recent years has been an inspiring victory for humanity and it is in the tradition of the civil rights movement when i was a young boy in the south, the women's suffrage movement when my mother was a young woman in tennessee, the abolition movement much farther back, and the anti-apartheid movement when i was in the house of representatives. all of these movements have one thing in common: the opposition to progress was rooted in an outdated understanding of morality.

We stand today at the threshold of a great event both in the life of the united nations and in the life of mankind. this declaration may well become the international magna carta for all men everywhere. we hope its proclamation by the general assembly will be an event comparable to the proclamation in 1789 [of the french declaration of the rights of man], the adoption of the bill of rights by the people of the u.s., and the adoption of comparable declarations at different times in other countries.

Daily there have to be many troubles and trials in every house, city, and country. no station in life is free of suffering and pain, both from your own, like your wife or children or household help or subjects, and from the outside, from your neighbors and all sorts of accidental trouble.

The people who are abroad are all those that have no religion, neither one based on speculation nor one received by tradition. such are the extreme turks that wander about in the north, the kushites who live in the south, and those in our country who are like these. i consider these as irrational beings, and not as human beings; they are below mankind, but above monkeys, since they have the form and shape of man, and a mental faculty above that of the monkey.

Countries that work with europe should feel safer than they would if they worked with non-democratic regimes. why isn't europe building infrastructure in africa instead of leaving it to the chinese? why haven't we succeeded in promoting the economic development of our neighbors in the balkans, instead conceding these countries to growing russian influence? in an uncomfortable world, we europeans can no longer sit back and wait for the u.s.a.
