Quote Of The Day – Dan Savage

“I tell this story in the book of being at this park in Seattle many
years ago, where a limo pulls up and a bride and a groom tumble out to
get their portraits at this very famous park with a beautiful view of
downtown Seattle. And as they’re walking back to the limo everyone
starts to applaud, and rightly so. Everyone takes delight when two
people find each other and make that commitment. I was standing there
clapping next to these two older gentlemen with two big dogs. It was
clear that they were gay and I was gay. And as they get into their car,
the one closest to me looks at me and says, `We are always happy for
them. Would it kill them to be happy for us?’ We’ve reached that tipping point, where they are happy for us. Now
you see straight people looking at gay people and recognizing something
about themselves in us.” – Dan Savage, speaking to the Associated Press.
