“When it comes to sex or flirting, I prefer to be at a club where you know there’s a mixed crowd, where you really don’t know whether the guy you are hitting on is straight or gay. It creates tension. I like it much more.”

“My son-in-law, who prides himself on being a Bud-drinking, NRA-member redneck, liked the movie so much he went to it twice. Straight men are seeing it and they’re not having any problem with it.

“Judge [Samuel] Alito’s appointment would spell disaster for LGBT Americans for decades to come. His judicial record fully reflects his embrace in the 1980s of the right-wing agenda and is completely antithetical to the constitutional principles and values on which our rights and equal protection guarantees rest.
