“Not all gays respond to the same stuff. Would Alexander the Great have loved Auntie Mame?”

“Over and over these organizations tell America that family, above all, is what Christianity is about. Devotion to one's family is, indeed, a wonderful thing. Yet it is hardly something to brag about. For all except the most pathologically self-absorbed, love for one's parents, spouse, and children comes naturally. Jesus did not make it his business to affirm these ties; he didn't have to. Jews feel them, Buddhists feel them, Confucians and Zoroastrians and atheists feel them. Christianity is not about reinforcing such natural bonds and instinctive sentiments. Rather, Christianity is about challenging them and helping us to see all of humankind as our family. It seems clear that if Jesus had wanted to affirm the "traditional family" in the way that Pat Robertson claims, he would not have lived the way he did.”

“Straight Americans need an education of the heart and soul. They must understand - to begin with - how it can feel to spend years denying your own deepest truths, to sit silently through classes, meals, and church services while people you love toss off remarks that brutalize your soul.”

“For a gay you are good driver.”

“Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.”

“Why darling, I'm your Auntie Mame!”

“Obsession is an addiction you may never shake free of. It just… holds you and never gives anything in return. But love, you can give all you’ve got to love and it always gives you back more. That’s how you can tell the difference between the two. I know that now.” --Robyn Hannaford from The Great Northern Coven”
