The spiritual kinship between lincoln and whitman was founded upon their americanism, their essential westernism. whitman had grown up without much formal education; lincoln had scarcely any education. one had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the gettsyburg address. it was inevitable that whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that lincoln was his.

A beautiful homily, a genuine sermon, must begin with the first proclamation, with the proclamation of salvation. there is nothing more solid, deep and sure than this proclamation.

In my real life, both my bosses are gay. on the 'real housewives of atlanta,' andy cohen is gay, everybody at bravo is gay - we call them the gay mafia. over at 'glee' and 'the new normal,' my boss ryan murphy is gay. on the show, my boss, played by andrew reynolds, is gay in real life. i'm surrounded by all my gay bosses.

I repeat the declaration made a year ago, that 'while i remain in my present position i shall not attempt to retract or modify the emancipation proclamation, nor shall i return to slavery any person who is free by the terms of that proclamation, or by any of the acts of congress.' if the people should, by whatever mode or means, make it an executive duty to re-enslave such persons, another, and not i, must be their instrument to perform it.

I just want to be clear before we decide to do this together: i'm gay. my music is gay. my show is gay. and i love that it's gay. and i love my gay fans, and they're all going to be coming to our show. and it's going to remain gay.

Respect gay couples but no gay adoptions.

A river is the most human and companionable of all inanimate things. it has a life, a character, a voice of its own; and it is as full of good fellowship as a sugar maple is of sap. it can talk in various tones, loud or low, and of many subjects grave and gay.... for real company and friendship there is nothing, outside of the animal kingdom, that is comparable to a river.

There are gays and lesbians in every country, so there should be no discrimination against them just because of their destiny.

I would like to see the gay population get on board with feminism. it's a beautiful organisation and they've done so much. it seems to me a no-brainer.
