Bisexual people are the primary conduits for the cultural conversation that America is having about gay rights. ~ Jennifer Baumgardner
Gay Rights quotes by Jennifer Baumgardner
You know, the guys there were so beautiful - they've lost that wounded look that fags all had 10 years ago. ~ Allen Ginsberg
Gay Rights quotes by Allen Ginsberg
I believe a Christian muffler shop owner should have the same right to refuse service to a gay couple, as a gay lifeguard has to refuse service to a drowning Christian. ~ Quentin R. Bufogle
Gay Rights quotes by Quentin R. Bufogle
Back in the eighties, people thought a vegan was someone from Vegas. It's a different world now and I feel lucky to have been a part of the revolution, both for animal rights and gay rights. ~ Dan Mathews
Gay Rights quotes by Dan Mathews
Let's be grateful to all those who came in before us. Grateful to all those men and women, young and old alike, who paved the path forward for us, brick by brick. To those men and women who marched across the bridge in Selma on that great day, those men and women who rallied behind the Gandhis and the Mandelas every single time they were needed, to those men and women who stood up for voting rights and civil rights and gay rights and equality and justice and a free world, those men and women who invented the future by inventing things that fundamentally changed the world from the electricity to vaccinations, from airplanes to birth control pills, from the printing press to the internet. ~ Sharad Vivek Sagar
Gay Rights quotes by Sharad Vivek Sagar
If gays are granted rights, next we'll have to give rights to prostitutes and to people who sleep with St. Bernards and to nail biters. ~ Anita Bryant
Gay Rights quotes by Anita Bryant
If I was courting the Muslim vote, I wouldn't have put establishing the partnership ceremony at the forefront of my first term, would I? I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights. ~ Ken Livingstone
Gay Rights quotes by Ken Livingstone
Loads of my friends are gay, I don't see myself in any sense as being opposed to gay rights, but I did express a view before the election - which by the way was also expressed by the party but then they changed their mind - that we didn't support gay marriage which is, I suppose for some, the ultimate destination, but not for everybody. ~ Lucinda Creighton
Gay Rights quotes by Lucinda Creighton
Joe Biden will speak to the nation's largest gay rights group during a human rights convention on Friday. Then on Saturday, he is scheduled to speak to them again to apologize for whatever he said in Friday's speech. ~ Jimmy Fallon
Gay Rights quotes by Jimmy Fallon
We, gays, can get married in Canada. We let heterosexuals too, but that was a huge thing, we had to have a referendum and a vote, it's crazy! But then we were like, if they want to get married.. that's cool. That's gonna destroy their relationships, but.. Heterosexuals deserve the same rights as homosexuals. ~ Tegan Quin
Gay Rights quotes by Tegan Quin
The Supreme Court had the choice not only which way to rule, pro- or anti-gay marriage rights, but also how they were going to rule. They could have ruled just federalism, saying, "This isn't a matter for federal; this isn't a federal issue at all. States should decide it." Or they could decide it on equal protection grounds and say that, "Gay discrimination is wrong." ~ Barack Obama
Gay Rights quotes by Barack Obama
You cannot demand your rights, civil or otherwise, if you are unwilling to say what you are. ~ Merle Miller
Gay Rights quotes by Merle Miller
One thing the gay rights movement taught the world is the importance of being visible. ~ Charles M. Blow
Gay Rights quotes by Charles M. Blow
I'm a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being ... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant. ~ Paul Newman
Gay Rights quotes by Paul Newman
Let's make a law that gay people can have birthdays, but straight people get more cake
you know, to send the right message to kids. ~ Bill Maher
Gay Rights quotes by Bill Maher
Gay rights and body acceptance are two things I feel very passionately about. ~ Mary Lambert
Gay Rights quotes by Mary Lambert
I filed the first gay rights bill in Massachusetts history in 1972 in the legislature, one of the first in the country. ~ Barney Frank
Gay Rights quotes by Barney Frank
I'm very fond of the concept of choice as the basis for sexual preference. This point of view is unpopular in an era in which every claim for gay rights is bases on pseudoscientific sulking about how we can't help being queer; we're just born that way. Thanks, but I don't want to receive my civil rights as a charity fuck bequeathed on me by my genetic superiors. ~ Patrick Califia-Rice
Gay Rights quotes by Patrick Califia-Rice
We men really, really, really like sex. We like sex so much, many of us are willing to risk getting in serious trouble to get it. That's why laws against rape haven't stopped rape, and why laws against prostitution haven't stopped prostitution, and why men who cheat on their wives would continue to cheat even if it was illegal, and why gay men continue to be gay even in fundamentalist religious countries like Saudi Arabia, where homosexuality is punishable by death. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Gay Rights quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
I pointed out that the Atlanta Olympic bomber - as well as Timothy McVeigh and the people who protest against gay rights at military funerals - are Christians but we journalists don't identify them by their religion. ~ Juan Williams
Gay Rights quotes by Juan Williams
Ending feudalism, ending slavery, enacting labor laws, winning universal suffrage, ending Jim Crow laws, overcoming much of the mindset and practice of patriarchy as it was entrenched in the '50s and '60s, bringing gay rights and liberation into the light of social policy and practice. Putting ecology on the political map. The left has a long lineage. ~ Michael Albert
Gay Rights quotes by Michael Albert
Lesbian and gay people are a permanent part of the American workforce, who currently have no protection from the arbitrary abuse of their rights on the job. ~ Coretta Scott King
Gay Rights quotes by Coretta Scott King
We actually have some gay people that work with us, and we have a lot of friends that are gay, too, and I know that this song has inspired them ... I know that coming out was tough on their parents and on them and the whole entire family. For a long time, some of them didn't get to hear 'I love you' from their dads or be accepted in that way ... It's helped a lot of our friends ... We don't judge anybody's lives. ~ Martha Stewart
Gay Rights quotes by Martha Stewart
This is the gay agenda: equality. Not special rights, but the rights that are already written by [our Founding Fathers]. ~ LZ Granderson
Gay Rights quotes by LZ Granderson
That's the problem with this whole country. Fucking vast prosperity. No one has any real problems anymore. Ninety percent of the damn politicians in this town either think there's no war on terror, or if we'd just be nice to these zealots they'll leave us alone. Well, that ain't going to fucking happen. The Huns are circling, and we're sitting around arguing about gay rights and prayer and guns and global warming and all kinds of bullshit. These idiots will eventually wake up to the threat, but by then it might be too late. (Stan Hurley) ~ Vince Flynn
Gay Rights quotes by Vince Flynn
Straight Americans need an education of the heart and soul. They must understand - to begin with - how it can feel to spend years denying your own deepest truths, to sit silently through classes, meals, and church services while people you love toss off remarks that brutalize your soul. ~ Bruce Bawer
Gay Rights quotes by Bruce Bawer
By in large in this country the issue of gay rights and equality should be past the point of debate. Really, there should be no debate anymore. ~ Scott Fujita
Gay Rights quotes by Scott Fujita
You have to remember, rights don't come in groups we shouldn't have 'gay rights'; rights come as individuals, and we wouldn't have this major debate going on. It would be behavior that would count, not what person belongs to what group. ~ Ron Paul
Gay Rights quotes by Ron Paul
Loads of my friends are lesbians, and it really annoys me that gay people aren't allowed to get married in most parts of America. I'd go on a march for gay rights any time. ~ Pink
Gay Rights quotes by Pink
Obviously I'm in favor of protecting the rights of everybody: gay, black, women, what have you, American Indians. ~ Gore Vidal
Gay Rights quotes by Gore Vidal
Jesus didn't fight against what was wrong. But he fought for what was right. ~ Ricky Maye
Gay Rights quotes by Ricky Maye
Black lives matter is not a black people's movement - metoo is not a women's movement - pride is not a gay people's movement - it's all humanity's movement - a movement for being accepted as humans by the humans. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Gay Rights quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Multiculturalism should not mean that we tolerate another culture's intolerance. If we do in fact support diversity, women's rights, and gay rights, then we cannot in good conscience give Islam a free pass on the grounds of multicultural sensitivity. ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Gay Rights quotes by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Gay and lifestyle. Two simple words. Yet for LGBT people, those two words, put together, are offensive and create hurt and anger. For decades anti-gay religious conservatives have used the term "gay lifestyle" as a missile to attack LGBT people, their community and struggle for equality. Used by others, it reveals their ignorance of the realities of everyday LGBT lives. We don't have lifestyles, we have lives.
Maybe saying "I disagree with the gay lifestyle" is just a nice way of saying "I hate fags" and demonstrates homophobia is still the issue. ~ Anthony Venn-Brown
Gay Rights quotes by Anthony Venn-Brown
I'm in a band. I don't go to church every Sunday. I love punk rock music. Sometimes I use swear words a lot. I respect and admire gay men and women. I'm obsessed with horror films. I know what shame feels like. And guess what old man? Jesus is still my Savior. ~ Hayley Williams
Gay Rights quotes by Hayley Williams
He carries home in the way he walks: an elegant, loose strut. He wears home on his skin in the form of attar, a delicious perfume that makes me dream of Somali coastlines, places where children play football amidst colonial ruins, and young men like Korfa flee in darkness on boats to Yemen and Kenya, determined never to look back. ~ Diriye Osman
Gay Rights quotes by Diriye Osman
In an era when gay men like Beatles' manager Brian Epstein paid a fortune in blackmail to hustlers to keep their secrets safe, Andy Warhol took everything he was told to keep hidden and threw it right back in society's face. ~ Andrew Grant Jackson
Gay Rights quotes by Andrew Grant Jackson
In an essay 10 years ago, I pointed out that it is utterly logical for polygamy rights to follow gay rights. After all, if traditional marriage is defined as the union of (1) two people of (2) opposite gender, and if, as advocates of gay marriage insist, the gender requirement is nothing but prejudice, exclusion and an arbitrary denial of one's autonomous choices in love, then the first requirement - the number restriction (two and only two) - is a similarly arbitrary, discriminatory and indefensible denial of individual choice. ~ Charles Krauthammer
Gay Rights quotes by Charles Krauthammer
I argue that in a world where people must support their opinions with evidence and reason rather than faith, we would experience less conflict over issues like assisted suicide, gay rights, birth control, and sexual morality. ~ Jerry A. Coyne
Gay Rights quotes by Jerry A. Coyne
She thought of people she had seen holding hands in movies, and why shouldn't she and Carol? ~ Patricia Highsmith
Gay Rights quotes by Patricia Highsmith
Putting measures like gay marriage on ballots for elections only hurts the gay rights cause and elects more conservative politicians. ~ Roseanne Barr
Gay Rights quotes by Roseanne Barr
I extend that to the abortion issue, I extend that to the so-called gay rights issue, I think this is a freedom principle and consistent with the analysis in the economic area as well. ~ William Weld
Gay Rights quotes by William Weld
Rights mean you have a right to your life. You have a right to your liberty, and you should have a right to keep the fruits of your labor ... I, in a way, don't like to use those terms: gay rights, women's rights, minority rights, religious rights. There's only one type of right. It's the right to your liberty. ~ Ron Paul
Gay Rights quotes by Ron Paul
If you have laws and legislation that ban certain things based on the principles of the Scriptures and based on your Christian background, then let it stand there. Who is having big debates with the Islamic people about it (gay rights)? Who is telling them to bend their laws? If your laws are based on your Christian points of view, then you must stand your ground? ~ Bishop Noel Jones
Gay Rights quotes by Bishop Noel Jones
I have no interest or desire to be head of Fine Gael ... I am ambitious for my country and I always said I would love to sit at Cabinet ... ~ Lucinda Creighton
Gay Rights quotes by Lucinda Creighton
I am going to sing lesbian love songs and support gay rights no matter what. The rest is public relations. ~ Jasmine Guy
Gay Rights quotes by Jasmine Guy
In her only departure from her prepared text, Heckler added, "We must conquer AIDS before it affects the heterosexual population and the general population…. We have a very strong public interest in stopping AIDS before it spreads outside the risk groups, before it becomes an
overwhelming problem."

The statement infuriated organizers from AIDS groups who considered AIDS already an "overwhelming problem" and did not consider it a priority of AIDS research to stop the scourge only "before it affects the heterosexual population." Moreover, many gay leaders wondered who had determined that homosexuals were not part of the "general population" that so concerned the Secretary. ~ Randy Shilts
Gay Rights quotes by Randy Shilts
Every single American - gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual, transgender - every single American deserves to be treated equally in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of our society. It's a pretty simple proposition. ~ Barack Obama
Gay Rights quotes by Barack Obama
Gay People can't do this. Women shouldn't be able to that. But touch my semiautomatic rifle and you're attacking my rights. ~ Remi Kanazi
Gay Rights quotes by Remi Kanazi
I'm a UFC fighter, a macho-type sport. I am a heterosexual guy in a tough macho sport, which is exactly the reason I feel a duty to say I support gay marriage and gay rights. I have nothing to gain personally from supporting this issue, and that's the point. Society as a whole is better when there is equality, and I want to live in a country where everyone has the same rights because we all benefit from that ~ Rashad Evans
Gay Rights quotes by Rashad Evans
There is a fantasy as old as the modern gay rights movement that if all our skins turned lavender overnight, the majority, confounded by our numbers and our diversity, and recognising a few of our faces, would at once let go of prejudice forevermore. ~ Ian McKellen
Gay Rights quotes by Ian McKellen
I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages ~ Barack Obama
Gay Rights quotes by Barack Obama
The arc of American history almost inevitably moves toward freedom. Whether it's Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation, the expansion of women's rights or, now, gay rights, I think there is an almost-inevitable march toward greater civil liberties. ~ James McGreevey
Gay Rights quotes by James McGreevey
Just because I'm in favor of gay rights doesn't mean that I'm gay or doesn't mean I'm some kind of 'sissy' or something. That's the language that you hear in locker rooms. ~ Scott Fujita
Gay Rights quotes by Scott Fujita
I've been a very effective leader in the gay rights movement, though at times I've been controversial. ~ Jean O'Leary
Gay Rights quotes by Jean O'Leary
Our role as artist is more controversial now because there are those, claiming the absolute authority of religion, who detest much of our work as much as they detest most of our politics. Instead of rationally debating subjects like abortion or gay rights, they condemn as immoral those who favor choice and tolerance. They disown their own dark side and magnify everyone else's until, at the extreme, doctors are murdered in the name of protecting life. I wonder, who is this God they invoke, who is so petty and mean? Is God really against gun control and food stamps for poor children? ~ Barbra Streisand
Gay Rights quotes by Barbra Streisand
I am opposed to special rights for gays just as I am opposed to special rights for heterosexuals or smokers. I can attest to the fact that sexual orientation is not immutable and I urge the city council to vote no on this amendment. ~ Alan Chambers
Gay Rights quotes by Alan Chambers
Georgia Author Brenda Sutton Rose captures some of the conflicted and captivating characters of a rapidly changing South. ~ Janisse Ray
Gay Rights quotes by Janisse Ray
A conversation in which the two parties have different beliefs should never begin with the intention of converting the other party to your own beliefs. Every worthwhile conversation's goal should be to understand the other person's opinions and help them understand your own. ~ Emily Eskowich
Gay Rights quotes by Emily Eskowich
Coming up, at 89 years old, acclaimed sculptor Gerson Frank was finally able to marry his longtime partner, Bill. Their relationship has covered three decades and seen many changes in gay rights, but Gerson never viewed himself as an activist. ~ Jennifer Lopez
Gay Rights quotes by Jennifer Lopez
I haven't been a gay activist. I haven't protested for gay rights or none of that, but one thing I can say is that a lot of the designers I wear are gay and I like their clothes. ~ ASAP Rocky
Gay Rights quotes by ASAP Rocky
No, this wasn't a 1960s student riot. Out there were the streets. There were no nice dorms for sleeping. No school cafeteria for certain food. No affluent parents to send us checks. There was a ghetto riot on home turf. We already had our war wounds. So this was just another battle. Nobody thought of it as history, herstory, my-story, your-story, or our-story. We were being denied a place to dance together. That's all. The total charisma of a revolution in our CONSCIOUSNESS rising from the gutter to the gut to the heart and the mind was here. Non-existence (or part existence) was coming into being, and being into becoming. Our Mother Stonewall was giving birth to a new era and we were the midwives. ~ New York Public Library
Gay Rights quotes by New York Public Library
all. Unfortunately, polarizing influences - such as unions that want what they want, gay rights groups, isolationists, and others who cannot or will not consider the opinions of others - have become stronger in recent years, robbing from the pool of moderate legislators and increasing the numbers ~ Ben Carson
Gay Rights quotes by Ben Carson
America- often called the land of milk and honey- tends to be sweeter, more generous to those who don't rock the boat.

Sarah Mullen ~ Erin Passons
Gay Rights quotes by Erin Passons
It doesn't matter what you do in the bedroom as long as you don't do it in the street and frighten the horses. ~ Daphne Fielding
Gay Rights quotes by Daphne Fielding
If a woman or a gay person has a right, by conservative logic, then the right is not actually a right but instead an assault on rights. Women and gays: So evil that we can turn actual rights into assaults on freedom just by having them. ~ Amanda Marcotte
Gay Rights quotes by Amanda Marcotte
The government has to treat all citizens equally. I am a strong supporter not of a weak version of civil unions, but of a strong version, in which the rights that are conferred at the federal level to persons who are part of the same-sex union are compatible. When it comes to federal rights, the over 1,100 rights that right now are not being given to same-sex couples, I think that's unacceptable. ~ Barack Obama
Gay Rights quotes by Barack Obama
The scriptures present a God who delights in genocide, rape, slavery, and the execution of nonconformists, and for millennia those writings were used to rationalize the massacre of infidels, the ownership of women, the beating of children, dominion over animals, and the persecution of heretics and homosexuals. Humanitarian reforms such as the elimination of cruel punishment, the dissemination of empathy-inducing novels, and the abolition of slavery were met with fierce opposition in their time by ecclesiastical authorities and their apologists. The elevation of parochial values to the realm of the sacred is a license to dismiss other people's interests, and an imperative to reject the possibility of compromise. ~ Steven Pinker
Gay Rights quotes by Steven Pinker
Not all gays respond to the same stuff. Would Alexander the Great have loved Auntie Mame? ~ Bruce Bawer
Gay Rights quotes by Bruce Bawer
Same sex marriage isn't gay privilege, it's equal rights. Privilege would be something like gay people not paying taxes. Like churches don't. ~ Ricky Gervais
Gay Rights quotes by Ricky Gervais
I'm for all kinds of gay rights. I'm almost like a gay man myself. ~ NeNe Leakes
Gay Rights quotes by NeNe Leakes
Twenty-five, 30 years ago, the barometer of human rights in the United States were black people. That is no longer true. The barometer for judging the character of people in regard to human rights is now those who consider themselves gay, homosexual, lesbian. ~ Bayard Rustin
Gay Rights quotes by Bayard Rustin
There can be people who feel one way about gay rights, another way about gay rights. There can be people who have different views on abortion. But we respect each other. I think we learn from each other. And we understand that ultimately we have the same values. ~ Rudy Giuliani
Gay Rights quotes by Rudy Giuliani
The torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century ... unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today. ~ John F. Kennedy
Gay Rights quotes by John F. Kennedy
In California, there was Atascadero State Hospital, constructed in 1954 at the cost to taxpayers of over $10 million (almost $110 million in today's money). Atascadero was a maximum-security psychiatric prison on the central coast where mentally disordered male lawbreakers [including homosexuals] from all over California were incarcerated. Inmates were treated at Atascadero by a variety of methods, including electroconvulsive therapy; lobotomy; sterilization, and hormone injections. Anectine was used often for 'behavior modification.' It was a muscle relaxant, which gave the person to whom it was administered the sensation of choking or drowning, while he received the message from the doctor that if he didn't change his behavior he would die (10). ~ Lillian Faderman
Gay Rights quotes by Lillian Faderman
I'm saying it loud: I'm a Republican who supports gay rights. ~ Mark McKinnon
Gay Rights quotes by Mark McKinnon
The times today are too dangerous for the young and the smart to be not bothered. Know the truth. Remember, "We can deny the truth. But, we can't avoid it." We have been there; we have all been there. Ask a female friend who is fighting for a better pay scale, ask the father of an immigrant who is nervous about the future of his daughter, ask a gay friend who is fighting for the right to marry, ask an African-American friend who wants her younger brother to be unafraid and proud, ask a homeless worker in Bangladesh whose house just got swept by rising sea levels, ask a young child in Beijing who breathes an air polluted by fossil fuels, ask a child labor in India who works ten hours and twelve hours to get two square meals a day. And, when you ask, you will know. You will know why we need to take it personally. ~ Sharad Vivek Sagar
Gay Rights quotes by Sharad Vivek Sagar
I am a fierce supporter of Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and gay rights in this country. ~ Bernie Sanders
Gay Rights quotes by Bernie Sanders
Gay rights and human rights are ... one and the same. ~ Hillary Clinton
Gay Rights quotes by Hillary Clinton
Each of us has a short ride on this earth and as long as we stay in our lane, and don't affect someone else's ride, we should be allowed to drive as we see fit. ~ Rob Thomas
Gay Rights quotes by Rob Thomas
The heavy warlike losses of the AIDS years were relegated to queer studies classrooms, taught as gay history and not American history. ~ Alysia Abbott
Gay Rights quotes by Alysia Abbott
A lot of attention has been going to social values - abortion, gay rights, other divisive issues - but economic values are equally important. ~ Robert Reich
Gay Rights quotes by Robert Reich
We've made so many advances in other areas - civil rights, gay rights - but ageism is still an area that's taboo and not talked about and dealt with. ~ Madonna Ciccone
Gay Rights quotes by Madonna Ciccone
Burst down those closet doors once and for all, and stand up and start to fight. ~ Harvey Milk
Gay Rights quotes by Harvey Milk
And secondly, admit defeat. Socialism (or anarchism) is not going to happen. And there is no national resurgence
of organic community coming our way. There will be no night-watchman state and libertarian utopia where the
public sector is all but removed. There will be no ecological-spiritual awakening spontaneously growing
from the goodness of your heart. And no, Mr. Conservative, there will be no rolling back of gay rights,
bike paths, vegan diets, animal rights and queer perspectives - they are all here to stay and expand. You can give up on all of that nonsense. Those were whispers of another time. Let them die hard. Clear your
head of these hallucinatory fantasies. They are about as meaningful today as belief in ghosts or Jesus walking
across King Herod's swimming pool. ~ Hanzi Freinacht
Gay Rights quotes by Hanzi Freinacht
There's this illusion that homosexuals have sex and heterosexuals fall in love. That's completely untrue. Everybody wants to be loved. ~ Boy George
Gay Rights quotes by Boy George
But i am a black man whose black mama's body and spirit were terrorized by another black man's hands and words. Sexism and patriarchy are not part of the revolution. I am a gender-maneuvering gay black man whose spirit was terrorized by other straight black men. Hetero-sexism and heteronormativity are not a part of our revolution. I am a black man who has ignored the plights of so many of my brothers. Separation because of difference and elitism based on class is not a part of the revolution. ~ Kiese Laymon
Gay Rights quotes by Kiese Laymon
Every one of my positions cuts - out half the country. I'm pro-choice, I'm pro-gay rights, I'm pro-immigration, I'm against guns, I believe in Darwin. ~ Michael Bloomberg
Gay Rights quotes by Michael Bloomberg
Romney is a classic case of re-invention. As governor of Massachusetts, he supported government-sponsored healthcare, was sympathetic to gay rights, and opposed harsh restrictions on abortion. After measuring the difference between the Massachusetts electorate and the national one to which he must now appeal, he has reversed those positions. ~ Stephen Kinzer
Gay Rights quotes by Stephen Kinzer
I could never be a politician. But as uncomfortable as I would be doing so, I have no problem with Obama's long-planned 'change of heart.' This dude's made huge, measurable strides for gay rights, and if being coy about his plans for gay marriage for a few years was needed to get him elected, then so be it. LGBT persons will be better off, and federal same-sex marriage recognition will come sooner because of it. ~ Barack Obama
Gay Rights quotes by Barack Obama
You're the reason why selfless soldiers won't be kicked out of the military because of who they are or who they love. ~ Barack Obama
Gay Rights quotes by Barack Obama
What happened to all those leading men of the great bacchanalia? They either died of AIDS or accepted roles as supporting actors in the middlebrow drama series of hetero culture-you know, if they're to kiss, we must have sunsets in the background. Once they were proud to explore every crevice of life in the margins, now their ambition is just to get along. Color me unimpressed. ~ Rabih Alameddine
Gay Rights quotes by Rabih Alameddine
As a young gay African, I have been conditioned from an early age to consider my sexuality a dangerous deviation from my true heritage as a Somali by close kin and friends. As a young gay African coming of age in London, there was another whiplash of cultural confusion that one had to recover from again and again: that accepting your sexual identity doesn't necessarily mean that the wider LGBT community, with its own preconceived notions of what constitutes a "valid" queer identity, will embrace you any more welcomingly than your own prejudiced kinsfolk do. ~ Diriye Osman
Gay Rights quotes by Diriye Osman
Republicans constantly claim to be the party that defends the Constitution. We have no legitimate right to that claim until we get right on gay rights. ~ Mark McKinnon
Gay Rights quotes by Mark McKinnon
Gay rights is just one of the social issues I'm interested in. I think that people might be less tense about it if we would all accept the fact that not everyone is wired the same way. ~ Charlaine Harris
Gay Rights quotes by Charlaine Harris
I somewhat resist the whole gay rights-vampire rights metaphor because it is fraught with problems. I don't want to be seen as a gay man as a blood-sucking killer. I don't think it is the way to win hearts and minds. ~ Denis O'Hare
Gay Rights quotes by Denis O'Hare
It is up to us to take care of this planet. It is our only home, we must globally warm our hearts and change the climate of our souls
and realize that we are not apart from nature, we are a part of nature. And to betray nature is to betray us, to save nature, is to save us. Because whatever you're fighting for: Racism, Poverty, Feminism, Gay Rights, or any type of Equality. It won't matter in the least, because if we don't all work together to save the environment, we will be equally extinct. ~ Prince Ea
Gay Rights quotes by Prince Ea
My own country's record on human rights for gay people is far from perfect. ~ Hillary Clinton
Gay Rights quotes by Hillary Clinton
If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work:
'Hello. Can't work today. Still queer. ~ Robin Tyler
Gay Rights quotes by Robin Tyler
Frankly, it's self-evident. As people of faith, it's our duty to love everyone, the way God loves everyone. There's no reason why any one group is less deserving of love - either the love of a church community, to the love of a family - than any other. ~ Robin Talley
Gay Rights quotes by Robin Talley
