Peter Tatchell Gay Archive

The only liberation struggle worth fighting is a struggle inspired by love.
Love is the beginning, middle and end of liberation.
Without love, there can be no liberation worthy of the name.

From many small streams, a mighty river flows.
We are the small streams that can make a mighty river for human freedom.

Every successful emancipation struggle is a collective one.
Every true emancipation struggle is for the sake of the individual.
