A dark gray stone monument displays a modified version of Martin Niemöller's famous quote, with the first stanza altered to read 'THEY CAME FIRST for the gays & trans, but I didn't speak up - because I didn't see them as human either'. The rest of the quote remains unchanged, listing historical groups targeted by persecution. The text is engraved in white, and the monument is situated outdoors with grass and bushes visible. The original attribution to Martin Niemöller is preserved at the bottom.
