For me the connection is that its about 'human rights.' If we allow any group to be treated as 'less than' then we end up diminishing ourselves.
And let's not be naive, groups that hate one group of people rarely restrict themselves to just that one. It's exactly what the poem you posted on line says..if you don't speak up for someone else, who's going to be around to speak up your behalf?
