Let me have my tax money go for my protection and not for my prosecution. Let my tax money go for the protection of me. Protect my home, protect my streets, protect my car, protect my life, protect my property...worry about becoming a human being and not about how you can prevent others from enjoying their lives because of your own inability to adjust to life.

Freedom is too enormous to be slipped under a closet door.

It's not my victory, it's yours and yours and yours. If a gay can win, it means there is hope that the system can work for all minorities if we fight. We've given them hope.

Hope is never silent.

Every gay person must come out.... Once they realize we are indeed their children, we are indeed everywhere, every myth, every lie, every innuendo will be destroyed once and for all.

All over the country, they're reading about me, and the story doesn't center on me being gay. It's just about a gay person who is doing his job.

All men are created equal. Now matter how hard they try, they can never erase those words. That is what America is about.
