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

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

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.

Never take an elevator in city hall.

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.

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.

If it were true that children mimicked their teachers, you'd sure have a helluva lot more nuns running around.
