“Generally, the arguments for same-sex marriage go along these lines: 'I have a civil right.' What the homosexual movement wants to do is to hitch their agenda to the civil rights movement, but I point out that this is illegitimate for a number of reasons.

What we need to do is distinguish between race and behavior.” PeopleWantNeedsPersonsReasonLeftSexBlackLinesNumbersRaceRightsMovementChangedBehaviorArgumentCivil RightsPlentyAgendasHomosexualCivil Rights MovementBlack Person Author:Erwin W.

“I was still closeted, but from the day I decided to run for office, knowing that I was gay, I decided that I would, of course, still be closeted but that I would work very hard for gay rights.
