“Şapelde ben vazgeçtikten sonra, giysilerimizin düğmelerini iliklerken ona, 'Cenin dokusunu unut. Küskün güçlü kadınları unut' dedim. 'Seni sikmeyeceğim; neden biliyor musun?' diye sordum. Pantolonumun düğmelerini iliklerken ona, 'Senden hoşlanmayı yeğliyor olabilirim' dedim.

“If you're gay and politically aware, you see politicians sacrifice American ideals in general and gays' lives in particular on the altars of "tolerance" and "diversity". You see politicians and media pundits not only tolerating but embracing Islamic savages and their pedophile prophet. You see politicians put your right to life below a Muslim's right to escape from the countries they themselves created. You see politicians importing your own murderers. You see media pundits Balkanize the country into special interest groups to make it easy for politicians to divide and conquer - and you don't want to be conquered.”
