Coming out is the most political thing you can do

The fact is that more people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, THAT my friends, is true perversion.

I was born of heterosexual parents. I was taught by heterosexual teachers in a fiercely heterosexual society. Television ads and newspaper ads — fiercely heterosexual. A society that puts down homosexuality. And why am I a homosexual if I'm affected by role models? I should have been a heterosexual. And no offense meant, but if teachers are going to affect you as role models, there'd be a lot of nuns running around the streets today.

If you are not personally free to be yourself in that most important of all human activities... the expression of love... then life itself loses its meaning.

Hope is never silent.

It takes no compromising to give people their rights. It takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no survey to remove repressions.
