Burst down those closet doors once and for all, and stand up and start to fight.

If I turned around every time somebody called me a faggot, I'd be walking backward - and I don't want to walk backward.

If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door in the country.

I fully realize that a person who stands for what I stand for, an activist, a gay activist, becomes the target or the potential target for a person who is insecure, terrified, afraid, or very disturbed with themselves.

If I do a good job, people won't care if I am green or have three heads.

We will not win our rights by staying quietly in our closets.

I finally reached the point where I knew I had to become involved or shut up.
