I'm not focused on the gay and lesbian movement.

I'm a white, middle-aged, married, middle-class male with kids. I couldn't be disenfranchised if I tried.

I'm for all kinds of gay rights. I'm almost like a gay man myself.

Originally I was opposed to gay assimilation and targeted gay marriage as just another effort on the part of gays to resemble their straight neighbours.

I'm not a gay rights activist.

I oppose the attempts of homosexual activists to treat homosexual activity as a civil right to be protected and promoted by the government.

Gay rights and body acceptance are two things I feel very passionately about.

My own early crusade for same-sex marriage, for example, is now mainstream gay politics. It wasn't when I started.

I cannot be a placard waver for every campaign; that's why I have mostly kept quiet about gay marriage.

I, personally, am trying to get more and more involved with the gay and lesbian movement, very much so.
