I believe it's in the best interests of a child to be in a stable environment.

Pride became this dogma which meant you couldn't criticize anything gay - if you were the least bit critical of gay culture or people or any gay person doing any gay thing, that was an insufficient display of pride. You were suffering from internalized homophobia. As opposed to external homophobia.

A lot of people think that telling people you're gay is something someone might say just to get attention.

You can’t pray away the gay, but you can torture a conflicted closet case to death.

I'm one of those gay people who's constantly reminded of how fortunate I am to live now and not to be Ennis and Jack [from Brokeback Mountain] or whatever - not that I'd mind being Ennis for half an hour. But it's been so much worse recently. It still is terrible. In Iran, they're hanging gay teenagers. I'm grateful for how far the United States, even with its crazy Christians, has come on a lot of issues. And the fact that I get called a faggot occasionally by a crack addict, while annoying, certainly isn't a lobotomy and prison.

A huge part of what animates homophobia among young people is paranoia and fear of their own capacity to be gay themselves.

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