“One of the things that I, would say to this community coming from a repressed community is let’s turn to each other, not on each other.  Let’s bond together, and find our commonality, not our differences. Because the enemy, I’ve seen the enemy in Arizona, and it is not us. So when we have small differences with each other, let’s recognize them for what that is, and let’s stop this San Francisco bickering that we’re famous for, and killing each other over really tiny differences.  And let’s bond together over the big stuff because the big stuff is coming and it’s here and it’s big and hairy and gross and we need everybody’s power and participation to disrupt these evil forces.”

— Ralph Remington,Director of Cultural Affairs,San Francisco Arts Commission
