And the next morning, when they wake up dead, there'll be a record." -- Mark S. Fowler "Lots of people were never really homophobic in the first place -- they just thought they were supposed to be. The true homophobes are now on the run. They know they can't come out and say, 'I wouldn't hire a fag' any more, so they have to resort to lying. They say they oppose anti-discrimination legislation for gays because it gives them 'special rights.' Which is a ridiculous argument. There's nothing special about anti-discrimination legislation, unless you think that's true for Jews or blacks or Catholics, too." -- Rep.

I mean, even when I was in my mom�s tummy I didn�t get my own room. But it�s cool to be a triplet and it�s cool to be different, too. I�m also different from my brother and sister and nobody cares about that. I like science, and my brother thinks that�s dumb. Everybody is different in their own special way. Girls loving girls and boys loving boys is different, and different is cool. So why should other people care about a girl being married to a girl or a boy being married to a boy? Because whoever you marry, it�s love. It�s not other people�s business who you marry. This amendment goes too far, does too many scary things and hurts too many people and too many friendships. Some people think that God doesn�t like people who are different and that�s not right. God has eyes for everyone whether they�re a boy or a girl, gay or straight, black or white. The world would be a much better place without this amendment for many lives and many families. Whoever you love it�s OK and no matter what that will always be true. When I heard my mom talking about all the scary things they�re doing to gay people I was scared, and I should be scared because I don�t like how people are being treated just because they�re gay. And that�s why I asked my mom if I could speak here today. One of my heroes is Rosa Parks and the reason I like her is because she stood up for what she believed in no matter what she knew would happen and I think you should always stand up for what you believe in. I hope everybody will help to make sure that everybody is treated fairly." -- Carly Frieders, 8, speaking at the Rally for Love and Justice Feb. 12, 2006, on the proposed "Protect Marriage Arizona" Amendment "Never give a party if you are the most interesting person there." -- Mickey Friedman "Only the person who is faithful to himself is able to be faithful to others." -- Erich Fromm "Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper." -- Robert Frost "The best way out is always through." -- Robert Frost "The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, others willing to let them." -- Robert Frost "If the nature of human experience changes with the color of a man's skin, then the racists have been right all along." -- Athol Fugard "There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." -- Buckminster Fuller Index
