Quote

People say I'm controversial. But I think I lead a very balanced and normal life.

I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength.

I've tried to lead a progressive, activist government.

I think I have a very good reputation amongst the gay population and among the whole country because I stood up on the issue of gay rights. It is not easy to stand up on that issue when you are single and male in New York City. I did it anyway.

I'm a person who's always been politically active and passionate about people's rights.

My activism and sexual revolution in New York was a factor.

I'm a controversial guy.

I'm not an activist; I don't look for controversy. I'm not a political person, but I'm a person with compassion. I care passionately about equal rights. I care about human rights. I care about animal rights.

I've been openly gay since I can remember.
