While I was doing shitty little bar shows in the Central Valley in 2004, I was being out and helping people realize that gay people aren't monsters, that they are just people. So I look at this world with a great deal of pride, and I'm excited for it.

I'm just figuring out being able to understand that it's cool for me to date, and have guys be interested in me, and be interested in guys.

I am not a huge fan of being around people all the time. I really like being able to leave people.

I really like that homosexuality is a little bit of an existential puzzle.

I think that women have a construction of their sexuality put on them from a very young age that says exclusivity is necessary to remain valuable, that if a dude screws somebody else it means that he doesn't love you, that he doesn't care about you. You don't have primacy in his life.

It is easier to be gay at this very moment than it was five minutes ago. It is just constantly getting better, and it's wonderful.

The weird thing is when you're a gay guy my age, I spent so much of my life just thinking I was probably never going to date anyone, so now just thinking, "all right, settle down and have a child" seems ridiculous to me.
