I think it is really sad that when people lose their homes they kind of lose their minds too.

My parents are very funny when they have to deal with anything racy or off-color. They usually pretend they don't speak English.

To me, marriage is really important and what we build families on. That's why gay marriage is really important.

People like Sean Penn, he is someone that is politically progressive and yet is still at the top of his game in the industry. So I love that he is out there just virtually shaming all the people that voted for Prop 8. He was a really great example of a straight ally, someone who used his talent and used his ability to further our cause, not just for political progressiveness but also specifically for gay marriage and specifically for Harvey Milk's entire life.

Sex in general, for me, is a lot of different aspects of humanity, not just my relationships. It's my relationship to myself and my body.

I could definitely rock out to Kraftwerk's "Tour De France," Tubeway Army, or Gary Numan. All of that stuff has an infectious beat, but with "Oh Yeah," I can't even identify what's going on. It sounds like typewriter keys, a couple of synth notes and then this really deep "Oh yeah," which I always picture as Andre The Giant on vocals.

I grew up a witness to gay politics in its early days. I remember seeing Harvey Milk and been moved by him.
