I like to sit in the window and watch the cute boys walk by.

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.

I ask for the movement to continue, for the movement to grow, because last week I got a phone call from Altoona, Pennsylvania, and my election gave somebody else, one more person, hope. And after all, that's what this is all about. It's not about personal gain, not about ego, not about power - it's about giving those young people out there in the Altoona, Pennsylvanias, hope. You gotta give them hope.

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

Some people call me the unofficial mayor of Castro Street.

Out of the bars and into the streets!

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.
