“I thinking gay and straight people use the same putters, it's not a matter of putters but a matter of hole selection.”

“What matters is that like a rather large proportion of straight Catholics, I think gay people are pretty much the same as everyone else. My belief about sexuality can be summed up in this way: no matter our sexual orientation, we are all acts of divine creation and beloved by God.”

“Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people regardless.”

“The imagination needs moodling,--long, inefficient happy idling, dawdling and puttering. ”

“I putter. I nurse old grudges. I fold origami while nursing old grudges. I think about the past. I wonder if there's any grudges I should start.”

“It's like a gay man being married to a straight woman. No matter how much he loves her, it's a sacrifice every moment they're together. The sex is secondary to the sacrifice.”
