1. He says "Love is the most important thing"

So true. I wish all these idiots would get over their fear of who knows what and the political posturing. Love is the most important thing, when ever love is shared, the bond is palpable. We don't need to question love. It just is. That should be the end of all discussions of what is a proper relationship.

Just love. That's it.

6. I just finished the movie MILK a few moments ago and now you give me this.

Wow!

This quote is particularly noteworthy.

Taunts, beatings and punishment await gay people the world over in playgrounds and execution grounds (the distance between which is measured by nothing more than political constitutions and human will).

Chilling in it's accuracy!
