"Oh, it didn't pass? OK. So we still need to pass it? OK. So we'll try to pass that one for you, too. But that's why we need it. And of course Obama supports that, our Congress supports that, our Senate supports that. I thought we did pass it, so we will try to get that. But that's exactly why we ne...

"Disaster. They constantly interrupted the gay side with aggressive questions, but let Ken Starr go on and on and on. They were obsessed with the fact that the domestic-partnership law gives the same rights as marriage, and they completely ignored the fact that they so eloquently argued that separat...

"We can't let people like the people behind me get away with flushing 45 million fucking dollars down the toilet!" - Audience member Rem Melton addressing the crowd at a public forum in San Francisco discussing the failures of No On 8. Melton was referring to senior No On 8 committee members such as...

“I do not want to add to the acceptability of asking every candidate, ‘Are you straight or gay or lesbian?’ and make it a legitimate question, so I don’t submit to that question. I don’t care if people think I’m gay because I don’t answer it. I’m flattered that at 84 people are inter...

"To date, I am the first openly gay male elected to Congress as a freshman. One change I will never get used to is that everyone keeps calling me "congressman." It's ridiculous to hear someone shout 'congressman' and watch each of the 435 members of Congress within earshot turn their heads. Seriousl...

"I’d like to see Obama naked. I think great leaders, charismatic leaders and men who are so confident and who have achieved so much, usually have big penises. I think there’s a correlation between the level of confidence, the level of the way a man can hold a room and the way he conducts himself...

"We lost the Prop 8 battle because we ran a dreadful campaign run by the usual craven Human Rights Campaign cowards and incompetents. We deserved to lose. We do not deserve to get a do-over via court power. There are some interesting legal and constitutional arguments here that are not as easily dis...

"Bitch, I've seen queers more fired up when Bed Bath & Beyond runs out of sale items. Where's the passion? "Was Van Sant afraid that audiences wouldn't be sympathetic if 70s-era gay activists were people who suffered, swore, fought back, and fucked like they meant it? If the street kids actually...
