Quote

I've tried to be active in civic organizations as well as the Church.

I have an activist's desire to improve people's lives.

I've been a very effective leader in the gay rights movement, though at times I've been controversial.

I used to do some philanthropic work, but with the political platform, I can contribute in a bigger way.

I don't necessarily see myself as an activist, running down the street and knocking at every door.

I started out being a really, really liberal Democrat.

I'm not an activist.

I got into politics a little bit by chance, as a person from the first generation of the Solidarity movement.
