It's Not My Victory, It's Yours And

I Was Born Of Heterosexual Parents. I Was Taught By Heterosexual Teachers In A Fiercely Heterosexual Society. Television Ads And Newspaper Ads — Fiercely Heterosexual. A Society That Puts Down Homosexuality. And Why Am I A Homosexual If I'm Affected By Role Models? I Should Have Been A Heterosexual. And No Offense Meant, But If Teachers Are Going To Affect You As Role Models, There'd Be A Lot Of Nuns Running Around The Streets Today.

If I Do A Good Job, People Won't Care If I Am Green Or Have Three Heads.

All Young People, Regardless Of Sexual Orientation Or Identity, Deserve A Safe And Supportive Environment In Which To Achieve Their Full Potential.

I Fully Realize That A Person Who Stands For What I Stand For, An Activist, A Gay Activist, Becomes The Target Or The Potential Target For A Person Who Is Insecure, Terrified, Afraid, Or Very Disturbed With Themselves.

All Over The Country, They're Reading About Me, And The Story Doesn't Center On Me Being Gay. It's Just About A Gay Person Who Is Doing His Job.
