Ellen Degeneres on the murder of a gay teen
First, I think this quote is awesome, and right on point.
Just because you aren't gay doesn't mean this tragedy doesn't affect you.
In Germany, they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist; And then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist; and then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew; and then . . . they came for me . . . and by that time there was no one left to speak up.
- Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892--1984)
Ellen Degeneres is one of the bravest, most amazing people I know, pass this link on.

Here's what she said:
I encourage everyone to respond to this in your own journals, as this message really needs to be spread. The story will disappear from the news faster than Britney Spears' custody dispute, because people care about it less. But that needs to change.
Thank you so much for reading.
