“I almost dropped dead the first time I heard Bob Dole say 'gay marriage' on the floor of the senate. He wasn't saying nice things, but he said it! I never thought in my lifetime I'd hear that.

Even when we take a step back like with prop 8, we take two steps forward.” ThinkingFirstsSaidTwoMovingStepsNiceHeardGayFirst TimeLifetimeSpeedSenateBobGay MarriageNice ThingsPropsSteps ForwardWarp Author:Cherry Jones
“People like Sean Penn, he is someone that is politically progressive and yet is still at the top of his game in the industry. So I love that he is out there just virtually shaming all the people that voted for Prop 8. He was a really great example of a straight ally, someone who used his talent and used his ability to further our cause, not just for political progressiveness but also specifically for gay marriage and specifically for Harvey Milk's entire life.” PeopleStillsPoliticalUsedGamesCausesAbilityTalentExampleIndustryGayProgressiveAlliesMilkReally GreatGay MarriagePropsSeanHarvey Author:Margaret Cho
“I had to face the fact that I had been using my gay friends as props. They were always supposed to be funny and entertain me and praise me and listen to my problems, and their life was supposed to be a secret that no one wanted to hear about. I wanted them to stay in the “half closet.” FactsProblemWantedFacesSecretHalfGayPraiseSupposed To BeClosetsPropsGay Friend Author:Tina Fey
