We spend countless hours talking about people's feelings and issues that aren't going to change anything.

I don't even want to go to the Pride marches anymore. The politics have been removed almost entirely. They're just huge corporate showcases.

I do believe that non-violent civil disobedience is a very important and useful tactic.

Marches work, rallies work, civil disobedience works, direct action works, voting works, writing letters works, speaking to churches and schools works, rioting works.

I am old school, I joined the gay liberation movement in 1972. If you had told me in 1972 that in the year 2009 I would be campaigning for the right to join the army or get married I think I would have started dating women at that time.

Any social movement that seeks to benefit only its own members I think is a shallow movement and probably doomed to failure.

I don't have any hobbies! I don't golf, I can't imagine what I would do if I retired other than get fat.
