“Laws are made to justify the killing of entire races of people And in the
name of God”
― Aaiún Nin, Broken Halves of a Milky Sun: Poems

“I’ve accepted my death. The path I’ve chosen is one that goes beyond dangerous. It is closer to suicidal. I am going to die doing this work. It will happen to me as it has happened to others. We are warriors born, and we have chosen not to stray from that path. So I accept Death as my inevitable bedfellow, and by doing so, I am free to live until he claims me. I never know when he’ll call my name, and therefore, I live every minute I have left to the fullest. One day, Angela, if you join me on this road, you’ll have to make a choice too. Ignore the truth like most and find a modicum of peace in the illusion, or accept your own death and revel in the freedom that provides. No matter what you pick, though, know that I’ll be proud of you just for following the rest of us down this crazy path.”

“And the soil
where the body of the murdered lesbian lay Soaked her blood
Absolved her from the justice she would not receive In the name of God
was she killed And in the name of God will her murderer be forgiven In
the land of the free”
― Aaiún Nin

“Where we are equals before the law Yet it is more righteous to kill the
innocent To blame the victim and forgive the rapist In the name of God”
― Aaiún Nin, Broken Halves of a Milky Sun: Poems
