If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.
All men are created equal. Now matter how hard they try, they can never erase those words. That is what America is about.
The fact is that more people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, that my friends, that is true perversion!
Politics is theater. It doesn’t matter if you win. You make a statement. You say, “I’m here, pay attention to me
It takes no compromise to give people their rights…it takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give people freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression.
I know that you cannot live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. And you…And you…And you…Gotta give em hope.

It’s not my victory, it’s yours and yours and yours. If a gay can win, it means there is hope that the system can work for all minorities if we fight. We’ve given them hope.
The important thing is not that we can live on hope alone but that life is not worth living without it.
It takes no compromising to give people their rights. It takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no survey to remove repressions.
The fact is that more people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, that my friends, is true perversion.
I have tasted freedom. I will not give up that which I have tasted.
