I want word of mouth to be our biggest voice.

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

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.

The state and the church seldom approve of anything I do. I don't need their approval. I don't aspire to the heterosexual nuclear family model

There is no sexuality that is greater or lesser than another.

Our history is a passion for me. I feel that we leave out so much information and huge gaps in the American story and it makes it hard for people to really understand that we are all intricately related as Americans. So I am attracted to historically based projects because we entertain and learn something at the same time. I just love that combination.

I believe people who practice their beliefs in daily life are activists.
