We won't get rights by begging for them. We won't get any help from "normal" people whenever bigots abuse us, no matter how nice we are to them. The truth is that empathy is a rare good in this world, not even speaking about proper solidarity. Thus the only way forward is to fight. And we need to fight together, every single one of us. Sylvia and all the others are proof of that.
I was a radical, a revolutionist. I am still a revolutionist. I was proud to make the road and help change laws and what not. I was very proud of doing that and proud of what I'm still doing, no matter what it takes.
