"Apparently I’m supposed to be tolerant of religion. I’m supposed to be tolerant of people that hate gays and intimidate women that have to deal with the stress of getting an abortion, I’m supposed to be tolerant of people that are trying to get their views to replace to the constitution and to govern us all. I’m supposed to be tolerant of utter ignorance and bigotry. If that’s the case then I will NEVER be tolerant of religion. I’ll only be happy when it’s completely dead."

"What are you afraid of? What is going to change by allowing these people to commit to one another and enjoy the benefits that you and I enjoy: tax breaks, insurance breaks, bereavement leave, medical leave to care for a sick partner, domestic violence protection, visitation of partner in the hospital, burial determination, medical decisions on behalf of partner. Really sexy stuff. You and I take these things for granted. Nobody wants to go through life not knowing how they will deal with some of these difficult moments in life. Imagine if you were denied any of the above rights when the time came for you and your spouse to exercise that right? I’ll tell you what it would feel like. It would feel like you were a second-class citizen."
