“If more homosexuals were in the Obamas’ lives, there is no way Michelle would have worn a twin set when she met the queen.”
‘Will & Grace’ co-creator Max Mutchnick to The New York Times, April 11.
“So there are the vermin now celebrating twisted perverse marriage in the middle of America, calling it a victory. It’s a victory for perversion in my opinion. ... You want me to tell you what makes me sick? When I see two puffy white males kissing each other, I wanna puke. When I see two women kissing each other, on the lips, as lovers, I wanna vomit. Why? It’s unnatural. It’s against all of the laws of mankind. It is against all the laws of humankind. It is suicide for a society to embrace such behavior.”
Syndicated radio host Michael Savage, April 6.
“We continue to be a passive population. It drives me nuts. It has always driven me nuts. I do not think the gay population has been all that rabid for gay marriage. Note that I do not use the words ‘gay community.’ Expunge that expression from your vocabulary. We are not a community. There are too many of us to qualify for that word, which connotes something much smaller and more intimate than the huge multipeopled grab bag of our rainbow coalition.”
Activist, author and playwright Larry Kramer to The Daily Beast, April 10.
“False. False. False. I do not love sex with men. My site is not anti-gay. I present both sides of the anti-choice-life issue. I am not anti-tolerant! Except against big-government freaks. I liked Chaka in the ’80s, and have not watched ‘Young and the Restless’ in 20 years! But I do watch ‘Judge Judy’!”
Matt Drudge to New York magazine in response to being outed by Out magazine, April 5.
“The video mockeries produced in response to (the National Organization for Marriage’s) hysterical, zombie propaganda poo have made this past week one of the most fabulous ever on the vast internets. Thank you, Maggie Gallagher and Brian Brown for awakening and entertaining the movement for marriage equality (with your ‘Gathering Storm’ anti-same-sex marriage ad). Because of your Night of the Living Storm Troopers silliness, the whole world is not only watching, it’s having a good laugh at your expense.”
Blogger Mike Tidmus, April 12.
“Whenever I get a wedding invitation, I start to spew chunks all over the fine furnishings of my luxury co-op. What the invite signals is the realization that I’ll be flushing away an entire day spent awkwardly standing around in a borrowed suit and gnawing at generic catered crabcakes and cannoli, all while having to cheer on two people I like who will surely be at each other’s throats in six months. ... Why does your decision to tie the knot have to result in me eating sour fish tacos, engaging in small talk with people who think I’m caca, and spending hard-earned cash on a present you’ll surely throw out the second the room clears?”
Village Voice columnist Michael Musto writing on his blog, April 14.
“Essentially, there’s no voice for gay Republicans or gay conservatives in particular in D.C. right now. Log Cabin has been completely and totally absent here in D.C. for months and months. It has simply moved way too far to the left and is basically indistinguishable from any other gay left organization. ... If your main issue is hate crimes or (federal anti-discrimination legislation) or marriage, you’re probably not a Republican.”
Christopher Barron, former political director of Log Cabin Republicans, discussing formation of the new Republican gay organization GOPROUD, to Politico.com, April 10.
