“Even in death I can't rest in peace - discriminations and disparities of the world keep bringing me back to life and I'll continue to rise till assimilation becomes the first nature of humankind - who am I you ask - I am the imperishable force of oneness.”

“June, Moments are like cherries. They're meant to be relished, shared - not hoarded. You can clutch one terrible Moment or experience all the rest.

But if you don't let go of all that [he] did, you'll be haunted like the rest of them.

“I want to live in a world where gay children don't have to feel like outsiders, don't have to play be different rules, and don't have to prepare a big coming-out speech or be terrified of whether or not their mom and dad will love and embrace them for who they are. I want to live in a world where everyone comes out. Every one. Gay and straight. A world where parents wouldn't assume anything. We wouldn't suspect or gossip. We would wait. We would listen. We would believe our kids when they tell us who they are. And then we'd let them know that they are wonderful and they are loved just the way they are. I want that for others because it's also what I want for myself -- to be accepted for who I am. Isn't that what we all want?”
