Julian Bond: Gay Rights are Human Rights
Julian Bond is the chairman of the NAACP. For decades I have been impressed by his thoughtful deliberation and eloquence. He has never been more impressive than in the speech he gave to the Human Rights Campaign's Los Angeles Dinner on 14 March 2009, recorded in the video below.
When I started listening to it, I thought here's a segment I should transcribe, or I should make a note here. Before long I found that there was no part of the 25 minute speech that I thought I could single out to stand above the rest. Much of what he says has been said before, but perhaps none of it has been said so well.
