“Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood. This sets the stage for further repression and violence that spread all too easily to victimize the next minority group.”

Coretta Scott King (1927–2006) American author, activist, and civil rights leader. Wife of Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Non-resistance in the sense of rejecting all forms of coercion is not always a legitimate expression of love toward man and love toward God. …the refusal under some circumstances to exercise forcible restraint is a betrayal of love and therefore a betrayal of higher religion.”

“By anarchy I mean first an absolute rejection of violence.”

Jacques Ellul (1912–1994) French sociologist, technology critic, and Christian anarchist

Anarchy and Christianity [Anarchie et Christianisme] (1988) as translated by Geoffrey W. Bromiley (1991), p. 11
Context: There are different forms of anarchy and different currents in it. I must, first say very simply what anarchy I have in view. By anarchy I mean first an absolute rejection of violence. Hence I cannot accept either nihilists or anar­chists who choose violence as a means of action.
