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

I have no personal desire to get married whatsoever and I certainly have no desire to be a soldier. I'm old school, I'm from gay liberation, we wanted to end war forever and smash the patriarchy and these are values I still hold dear but, I believe that any person who wants to get married should have that right and I know that Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual people serve with distinction in the armed forces, and that when they are killed, supposedly serving our country in these wars, that I personally do not support, their partners back home do not receive death benefits.

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

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

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.

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

The sense of urgency has almost completely vanished.
