Never be bullied into silence.

It's great to be out and proud.

I desire a person, not a gender.

How dare you make my life a felony.

It should never be a crime to be gay.

Being LGBT does not make you less human.

Where you stand depends on where you sit.

Appearances matter — and remember to smile.

I wanted to be out so I could relax and be me.

Gay rights and human rights are one and the same.

Violence toward women isn't cultural; it's criminal.

It's always wrong to hate, but it's never wrong to love.

I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexuals flaming.

Laws that discriminate validate other kinds of discrimination.

Whatever the public blames you for, cultivate it; it is yourself.

No one has ever abandoned a belief because he was forced to do so.

NEW YORK! I [love] U! You're OFFICIALLY the coolest place on the planet!

The day we stop resisting our instincts, we'll have learned how to live.

Gender is the poetry each of us makes out of the language we are taught.

There's nothing wrong with being gay, so to deny it is to make a judgment.

No practice or tradition trumps the human rights that belong to all of us.

I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn't.

It is a great injustice to persecute homosexuality as a crime, and cruelty too

Some women can't say the word lesbian... even when their mouth is full of one.

It is often the case that laws must change before fears about change dissipate.

Laws that require equal protections reinforce the moral imperative of equality.

I am fully supportive of 'open service' and committed to LGBT military families.

It is because the human experience is universal that human rights are universal.

When any part of humanity is sidelined, the rest of us cannot sit on the sidelines.

While we are each free to believe whatever we choose, we cannot do whatever we choose.

I am a strong, black lesbian woman. Every single time I say it, I feel so much better.

Well, obviously, I'm not allowed to speak about the legal battles, but I love lesbians.

The LGBT movement has been coopted by the very institutions it once sought to transform.

Often those who are denied rights are least empowered to bring about the changes they seek.

You cannot demand your rights, civil or otherwise, if you are unwilling to say what you are.

I mean, really: He called me 33 percent lesbian, which was a gross underestimation of my lesbian-ness.

I'm homosexual. How and why are idle questions. It's a little like wanting to know why my eyes are green.

I don't think there is such a thing as a precise sexual orientation. I think we're all ambiguous sexually.

LGBT youth face a much higher risk of violence and homelessness after being rejected by their family of origin.

Making the case (for same-sex marriage) from a conservative values perspective is an imperative, not an option.

What was once justified as sanctioned by God is now properly reviled as an unconscionable violation of human rights.

I say that homosexuality is not just a form of sex, it's a form of love, and it deserves our respect for that reason.

What would you be like if you were the only person in the world? If you want to be truly happy you must be that person.

All people deserve to be treated with dignity and have their human rights respected, no matter who they are or whom they love.

From my own experience, there are so many people who believe that the individual can change. The individual doesn't have to be LGBT.

My mother took me to a psychiatrist when I was fifteen because she thought I was a latent homosexual. There was nothing latent about it.

I hope that as my career continues I get to create and work on more LGBT projects and bring LGBT storytelling into more mainstream media!

As anyone who is gay will confirm, being that way is not something you become, it is a set of emotional and physical responses that just are.

I don't think it's completely better. I still have to do annoying things sometimes and explain things that I don't feel I have to [about LGBT].

Although we are Canadian, we have both vowed to remain unmarriad in solidarity with the millions who don't have the same rights as us around the world.
