I have a lot of LGBT friends and family members and I've always supported the community, not only as a child but as an adult, and I think it's important to voice that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm really proud that the LGBT community has gotten behind me because, as I said, I am part of the community, so I do as much as I possibly can for our community and for our rights, so it's nice that everyone is supporting me as well.
I'm always going to support the LGBT community and equal rights for the LGBT community.
I think it is important for someone like me to not run away from who I am but embrace it. LGBT people across the country need to know they have a friend in Congress.
For me, I have gay family members, and I have a lot of friends in the LBGT community.
I have close family members as well as lots of close friends who are gay. Many of them strongly support gay marriage.
I mean, I am fully aware of my influence and my responsibility to society in general representing the gay community. But in the same time, I don't represent the entire gay community because it's a vast, vast community, as one can imagine.
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.
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.
We absolutely have to support our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters. We just must. It's not fair that they don't get to live an authentic life.
I think that there's no doubt that as I see friends, families, children of gay couples who are thriving, you know, that has an impact on how I think about these issues.
