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.

We are a complex species to observe

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

I always try to honor a character by being honest and truthful to who they are, in spite of my own personality and beliefs.

Anything that is non-violent is OK with me.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

I want word of mouth to be our biggest voice.
