- - "Our Love Is Worth Fighting For" The recent passage of anti-gay referendums in relation to equal marriage rights, adoption, and related areas points out the ongoing power of the anti-gay religious right. This is a time for all of us; gay, straight, white, people of color, young, old, religious, non religious, men, women to take a stand in support of equal rights for all peoples, in this case; LGBT (Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Trans) people. As socialists we call for economic democracy, grassroots politics, and emancipatory liberation. As feminists we oppose patriarchal systems that attempt to enforce artificially one type of gender expression or sexual identity. As anti-racists we oppose white supremacy and it's divide and conquer tactics that attempts to split up the unity of the working class. We call for the repeal of all anti-LGBT laws and statutes and call for the rights of minorities to not be up to recall by a sometimes misled majority. We will work with groups working to overturn these anti-gay decisions and call for unity of all the oppressed in our shared vision of a just society; which we believe will be fulfilled by moving towards a socialist society. A society where people will be in cooperation with each other through their direct participation and able to benefit from the fruit of their labor to the benefit of themselves and all in society. Passed by the National Action Committee 12/4/08 |
