However, we should never be forced to choose or prove our loyalty to any group. I've said this before; the oppression comes from the same place, although it may be experienced differently by each individual, it is the same source. It is up to all of us to fight that source and each of us brings a different set of experiences to that fight. It is this diversity that makes us stronger.
