You tend to be afraid when someone seems foreign to you. But if you aren't careful, that can lead to bigotry.

Bigotry and judgment are the height of insecurity.

There are brilliant out lesbians and gay men and bisexuals and transgendered people and heterosexuals keeping the fire of change alive. Not a day goes by when I don't feel grateful to them for their work.

I meet so many people, but I don't know anybody.

It is a full time job being honest one moment at a time, remembering to love, to honor, to respect. It is a practice, a discipline, worthy of every moment.

If one is desperate for love, I suggest looking at one's friends and family and see if love is all around. If not, get a new set of friends, a new family.
