“I'm not really a political-type person, meaning that I don't really make great stands or whatever, but if you ask me a direct question I say it shouldn't matter who you are, whether you're black, white, green, gay, male, female. If you can do a job and do it well you should be paid for it, you should be respected for it, and you have to be responsible. I think sometimes people can go too fare trying to make a point. I think they should just make their point and go on about.” PeopleIfsThinkingShouldTryingWellsPersonsSometimesMatterJobsPoliticalAsksBlackCan DoWhiteTypeGoes OnGayFemaleDirectPaidResponsibleGreenWho You AreMalesAsk MeBeing ResponsibleBlack WhiteMale Female Author:Dolly Parton
“There are tons of gay issues that are important, from gay marriage to adoption rights to work-place discrimination and more... but I think the biggest gay issue is the level of involvement of the gay community to demand change. So many gays think that other gays will take care of it. To fix this, people need to realize that they CAN make a change, but no one person can do it alone.” PeopleThinkingNeedsPersonsImportantCareCan DoRealizingCommunityLevelsIssuesRightsGayDemandTake CareDiscriminationAdoptionInvolvementMaking ChangesGay MarriageGay CommunityWork Place Author:Tyler Oakley

“If you want to really hurt you parents, and you don't have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward.
