It seems to me the most important issue in the LGBT community is the right to be queer-the right to be free of the heterosexual assumption.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are still civil rights issues. There are still people who can't be visited by their spouse in the hospital because they're gay. These are humanitarian issues. At the end of the day, all you want is for people to be happy in the pursuit of life, love and liberty.
My mother has often said that the issue of women is the unfinished business of the 21st century. That is certainly true. But so, too, are the issues of LGBTQ rights the unfinished business of the 21st century.
Gay rights is just one of the social issues I'm interested in. I think that people might be less tense about it if we would all accept the fact that not everyone is wired the same way.
I think the gay community, just like anybody, should be represented in all forms and all types.
Securing for gays and lesbians the basic right to have their relationships and families recognized as part of a community makes all of our communities stronger.
I'm always going to support the LGBT community and equal rights for the LGBT community.
I don't think anyone's sexuality needs to be a public issue other than to give others the confidence to love themselves wholeheartedly and to be their true, authentic self without any shame.
The most important issue we have to deal with is freedom of movement.
Gayness is a non-issue.
To me, if a heterosexual has a right to do it, then I have a right to do it. And if it's important to the gay youth - who are now setting the agenda - then its important to me.
