Even today every year we lose an awful lot of young people, teenagers, who take their own lives because they're - they are gay or transgender.

Hello! The world is a mess!

When you lose the gayborhoods, you lose the political power that comes when you're concentrated in precincts, and you also lose the cultural vitality.

Dealing with Hollywood and commercial entertainment, you always have to worry that the political message is going to be skewed or obscured.

To all my friends in Los Angeles: the Sultan of Brunei, owner of the Beverly Hills Hotel, has signed legislation calling for gay people to be stoned to death.

I am not proud to be gay any more than I am proud to be right handed or to breathe oxygen.

I don't blame younger generations for their lack of awareness. Americans in general are not interested in history.
