>of social justice. Also, who are willing to engage in examination of our
>own histories and prejudices, though that may not always be comfortable.
>It is essential that we look within for our own answers. It is equally
>essential that we look outside at the institutionalized homophobia, sexim,
>racism, violence, and so forth that have separated us from one another.
