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

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
