We [Panthers] have not said much about the homosexual at all, but we must relate to the homosexual movement because it is a real thing.

They might be the most oppresed people in the society. — Huey Newton

As far as I was concerned, the Panthers were 'baaaaaad.' The Party was more than bad; it was bodacious.
