Sooner or later they are going to live in a New York City where gay marriage is not only legal, but it's common and they don't even notice.

I have a friend who is around my age, a little younger, and she's gay and came out to her own community when she was younger but not to her family and to the community at large.

Gay teenagers are four times as likely to attempt suicide as straight ones. I wish they knew that there's nothing wrong with them; that they are just a different shade of normal.

A huge part of what animates homophobia among young people is paranoia and fear of their own capacity to be gay themselves.

I'm straight and I have a lot of gay friends.

I meet a lot of young people in the Midwest, and I saw what a difference a show like In the Life can make to their lives in some of these small towns where, you know, there are probably two gay people in the whole damn town.

I didn't know what gay was until I lived in New York for 10 years. You know, I was just underexposed in that regard.

I am gay, and I'm very comfortable with it.

I have so many gay friends that I love.
