Being gay is a natural normal beautiful variation on being human. Period. End of subject. Therefore, any argument which says differently is an immoral supremacist one. Call it out as such. ... Be outraged, offended, angry and intolerant of any discussion or any one who describes you as unequal, undeserving or unnatural for being just as you are.

I just go crazy when I hear these people on the stages on gay pride rallies going on and on how 'We're just like everyone else.' Then a seven-and-a-half-foot drag queen comes walking by and opens his butterfly wings and I just think, 'Yeah, we're just like everyone else.' I think we should celebrate who we are. I don't need anyone's approval.

I've had ashes in my mouth for eight years at every kind of spin on homophobia presented about why this school shouldn't be named after Harvey Milk, so this is just so wonderful today. I'm having a vision: I see Harvey across the street, sitting on top of the school's roof being so elated, because he really believed in kids and the rainbow of diversity.

In truth, the term "gay community" is just a figure of speech, meaning not much more than "all the gay people in this area." There is no "gay community" per se. What there is is a large number of different and overlapping smaller gay communities each centered on a specific interest or activity, from square-dancing to playing bridge, from choral singing to political activity, from S/M to theater.
