“You know, American citizens, I don't think, ever thought that the right to the pursuit of happiness did not include the right to marry the person you love. But for a whole number of Americans, gay Americans, that happens to be true.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
The most successful marriages, gay or straight, even if they begin in romantic love, often become friendships. It's the ones that become the friendships that last.
My own early crusade for same-sex marriage, for example, is now mainstream gay politics. It wasn't when I started.
What gay culture is before it is anything else, before it is a culture of desire or a culture of subversion or a culture of pain, is a culture of friendship.
I can barely remember what I wrote yesterday, let alone 10 years ago.
