I'm always going to support the LGBT community and equal rights for the LGBT community.

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.

I'm proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It's just another part of me.

I am very proud of the role I played in getting legal equality for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, and in helping get rid of the prejudice by being visible about it, helping to block the conviction of Bill Clinton of impeachment.

I am a proud member of the LGBT community and could never bear the idea that someone could say I was closeted.

I'm proud of my sexuality.

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

I have supported the equal rights amendment since I was a freeholder. You won't find many people who can say that. I'm very proud of it.

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.
