Sometimes I get asked why I am so passionate about GLBT rights when there are so many other problems in the world. My response is this: One ought to be passionate about all human rights, and GLBT rights are human rights. Wherever human rights are being violated, we should speak out and act for justice. In relation to the GLBT rights and all of other problems in the world, recognizing that all of us are persons of sacred worth with equal rights is, in my opinion, key to being able to address all of the other problems and challenges we face in the world. If we cannot even recognize the dignity and rights of each person in the human community, how can we begin to recognize and advocate for the dignity and worth of all members of the ecological community of which we are all a part. GLBT rights are important in and of themselves, but they are also important in bringing healing within the human community that might allow us to become more responsible members of the ecological community.
