We Must Speak Out

It has been a long while since I've blogged even semi-regularly, but the times call for speaking out. Last night I pulled out an old button, and this morning I put it on.

Even now, more than 20 years after I first acquired this button, I found myself once again doing education about the significance of the pink triangle. Although I shouldn't have been, I was surprised that members of this Seminary community did not know that the pink triangle was worn by homosexuals in the Nazi concentration camps.

Once I explained the triangle people wanted to know what the button said. Almost everyone was familiar with this quote attributed to Martin Niemoller and recognized its significance in the current context.

We are back to Silence = Death, folks.
