"First they denied marriage to gay couples, and I didn't speak up because being gay is an abomination before the Lord. Then they denied marriage to illegal immigrants, and I didn't speak up because we don't want their kind in our country. Then they denied marriage to interracial couples, and I didn't speak up because I was concerned about the children of such unions. Then they denied marriage to non-Christian couples, and I didn't speak up because marriage is a Christian sacrament. By the time they told my son he was not allowed to marry his girlfriend, there was no one left to speak up..."
You may think you're safe, as you help the haters enforce their hate on those you don't like anyway. But don't get too complacent. When haters finish with one target, they move on to the next. Sooner or later, one way or another, you're next.
None of us is safe until all of us are safe.
