 “Well, I don’t think that’s a radical view to say we’re going to affirm marriage. I think the radical view is to say that we’re going to change the definition of marriage so that it can mean two men, two women, a man and three women, a man and a child, a man and animal. Again, once we change the definition, the door is open to change it again. I think the radical position is to make a change in what’s been historic.”

“It was like warfare. It was a time unlike anything since the Vietnam War era, when you had the sense that the whole world around you was divided.”

“I didn’t have any girl crushes in my life when I was younger, real-life ones, and after I shot ‘Two Girls in Love,’ I got a crush on someone that worked on that movie … that crush probably turned into my first experience with a woman, and it was beautiful and amazing, and it never happened again, and I wished it had. But anyway, there you go.”

 “I know it’s very addictive to read that kind of stuff. It’s entertainment. Perez has obviously struck a chord in the public eye. He’s doing something right. That deserves admiration — I think he does a great job. Honestly, if the worst he can say about me is that I’m gay, then I think I’ll be fine. I can handle it.”

“I now realize how important marriage is. I’ve [known I am] gay since I was a teenager. Gay marriage was always something that’s going to happen in the future, but I couldn’t go get one, so it wasn’t on the table. All of a sudden it was on the table. And I got one. I was like, ‘Whoa, I really wanted this the whole time,’ and I was ready for it, and I just told myself I wasn’t because it wasn’t feasible.”
Sean Fitz, who married his boyfriend Tim McQuillan last year in Iowa, when gay marriage was legal in Polk County (Des Moines Register, Jan. 20)
 “Oh, I’m delighted to hear that, but I have to say I’m more aware of my husband’s. That appeal? I understand it. But I think I turn a blind eye to my own because I get embarrassed or I’m shy or I don’t take compliments well. … I can’t speak for him, but I know that there are plenty of guys that I’ve been around who have expressed if not glee for me, then envy of me.”
Actress Diane Lane, claiming she is unaware of her gay following, but that her husband, Josh Brolin, has a large gay fan base (The Advocate.com, Jan. 17)
