"It seems undeniable to me that the Gay Liberation Movement represents the advance guard of the human rights movement...What we celebrate is not just the election of one man who symbolizes a movement. The celebration is not only a victory for tolerance; not only a victory for democracy; not only a victory for human rights. It is a victory for humanity."
