June Jordan in 1991

“There are two issues of our time, really, that I think amount to a litmus test for morality as far as I am concerned. One is what you are prepared to do on behalf of the Palestinian people. And the other is what are you prepared to do on behalf of gay and lesbian peoples. I really feel that those two things are co-equal fundaments in my worldview at this time.”

— June Jordan (via A Place of Rage, 1991)
