The second you realize you're not alienated, that makes you empowered.

I'm not sure I'm okay with 2 guys gettin' married, but I don't wanna be a jerk about it.

If you are very religious, and your religion teaches you that conception equals a baby, I don't know how I'm ever going to win you over to my side.

My curiosity is not a choice. It's always been part of me. I think of it as a vital organ.

I just think that also controlling women is a way to control the whole narrative. And so I think when you've oppressed a people for a really long time, you're terrified to give them any power because they may have some reflection of how horrible you've been and you're terrified of being treated that way. All that we want is to be our best selves, but that's hard for them to understand.

Legislators could easily be out-voted if people voted in midterm elections. The fact that we don't talk about all this stuff [ abortion rights, LGBTQ rights, or voting rights] very much because Donald Trump and the general election is sucking all the air out of the room - if people aren't paying attention to their state, they're certainly not paying attention to what's happening in other states.

One of the first things Catholic school taught me is that babies were born sinners. You sucked before you took your first breath.
