I think it's going to take three or four generations of gay people being able to get married before it starts feeling less like we're going through these motions, that we're aping a heterosexual institution.

The truly revolutionary promise of our nation's founding document is the freedom to pursue happiness-with-a-capital-H.

The cultural expectation should be if there's infidelity, the marriage is more important than fidelity.

The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness means that each of us is free to go our own way, even if the ways some of us may choose to go seem sinful or shocking to our fellow citizens.

It really did take Billy Lucas's suicide to wake me up to, kind of, the damage of the success of the LGBT civil-rights movement - higher-profile LGBT people - has done to LGBT youth who are trapped out there in those shitholes. But I don't think we need Pride. I am still opposed, on philosophical grounds, to the flap of the rainbow windsock and the damage that does to us intellectually.

School is very conformist, and one of the very first conforming that goes on in preschool and kindergarten is gender.

Natural isn't something I get called a lot in Texas.
