“Our differences and prejudices pale next to our historic challenge.”
"Bigotry That Hurts Our Military" in The Washington Post (14 May 2007).
Context: I have had the rich satisfaction of knowing and working with many openly gay and lesbian Americans, and I have come to realize that "gay" is an artificial category when it comes to measuring a man or woman's on-the-job performance or commitment to shared goals. It says little about the person. Our differences and prejudices pale next to our historic challenge.
