Thoughts for Sunday

I cannot prevent anyone from getting angry, or mad, or frustrated. I can only hope that they'll turn that anger and frustration and madness into something positive, so that two, three, four, five hundred will step forward, so the gay doctors will come out, the gay lawyers, the gay judges, gay bankers, gay architects ... I hope that every professional gay will say 'enough', come forward and tell everybody, wear a sign, let the world know. Maybe that will help. - Harvey Milk


When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one. - Leonard Matlovich


No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love. The only queer people are those who don't love anybody. - Rita Mae Brown


Everybody's journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality. - James Baldwin


I'm a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant. - Paul Newman


Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. - Dr. Seuss
