"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Do you think it is true? Why or why not???

of course it's true. If we tolerate injustice in one place, that opens the door to injustice elsewhere. For one thing, people get hardened to injustice. For another, people feel they can "justify" injustice to make up for another injustice. It becomes a vicious circle.

logical speaking yes. If you were to have justice everywere, then you cant have injustice anywhere. Since if you do you would not have justice everywhere. So injustice in just one place already gets rid of justice in all places. Both cant excist at the same time

I think you've got some valid points. Monomania is a maladaptive response to being a an oppressed minority. By and large I would have to say it is less of a problem in the LGBT community because we are naturally a diverse group. Of course there are going to be jerks. Efforts to raise the consciousness of the groups that make up the larger community are quite worthwhile. I've seen it work in my lifetime and, more recently I've seen it used to promote hatred and hate crimes. The only time we're guaranteed to lose is when we give up. So keep up the good work!

No. Injustice is relative, as is justice. What I consider just many will not agree. Or reference any other time period, and you will see that justice changes vastly over time. It's a nice saying though.

Sure. As long as you define "injustice" by pretty broad strokes.
Get down to the nitty-gritty and sending little Timmy to bed early when it's not quite fair isn't really going to impact the women's rights movement in Pakistan.

We are all in this together. If there is something going on at one side of a boat it will effect the other side possibly tipping the whole thing.

True.
If injustice is allowed to flourish, it will spread. Look at Nazi Germany.

yup
no justice, people feel like they have nothing to lose, when people have nothing to lose and nothing to eat, often they do some crimes, some are even justified in my opinion
like when the babies are starving, you steal some food, kind of justified maybe in some cases

That's true...
But I don't think we should stick our noses everywhere and act like we know best.
There are many other ways of "helping" people.

It's a logical statement because anger, hate, and violence only begets more of the same.
