When I was saving pills to kill myself, I thought there was no hope. I thought my life was over because I was a homosexual.

What people haven't quite grasped yet is that the rich are transforming cities all across the world.

I saw great hope in the Sanders campaign - a flawed candidate, not perfect, but pretty damn close. Millions of young people were inspired by him.

The penalties for homosexual conduct were - would vary from state to state, but they were - it was a felony in most states punishable with prison terms of varying lengths.

The joy with which we denigrate each others' efforts, I hate that.

I think support of the straight community is very important and I think there has been a profound shift in public opinion seen reflected in many ways. We do not need straight people to speak for us but we do want straight people to stand with us.

This is a terrible time to be young, I think. It's really hard.
