A
Message from Eliza Byard, GLSEN Executive Director
In the mid-1950s, as much of the U.S. Congress remained cowed
by Senator Joseph McCarthy and his ilk, an attorney named Joseph
Welch finally called the Senator out on his reckless cruelty
with a simple question: "Have you no sense of decency, sir?
At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
The time has come to ask that question of anti-LGBT activists
in Massachusetts.
