people have been discriminated against because of
who they love.
people have been beaten in the street because of
who they love.
because they are women, because of the color
of their skin
because they are queer, because they are different
we say no! we all stand together.
we refuse the categories which are used to divide
and put us against one another.
we make the world as we would like
to enjoy it. free from fear, free from violence,
free from discrimination. we declare a free space
where regardless of the differences between people there is respect
and sharing, where tolerance and understanding can develop.
imagine a world full of laughter and fun. a safe
place for children to play, for people to meet and talk, to sit,
to listen to music, to dance, to entertain one another. it is the
right of everyone to peacefully enjoy our public spaces.
we gather as people of all kinds to say the divisions between us
are not so great... we recognize that there are many ways that people
love one another. we support each other in the right to do this.
we say 'no more' to violence. 'no more' to fear and hatred. 'no
more' to the belief that there is only one correct way of life.
everyone has the right to freedom of expression
as long as they hurt no one else.
