Within the lesbian community i am black, and within the black community i am a lesbian. any attack against black people is a lesbian and gay issue, because i and thousands of other black women are part of the lesbian community. any attack against lesbians and gays is a black issue, because thousands of lesbians and gay men are black. there is no hierarchy of oppression.

As a result of our [my campaign's] discussions and other interactions with gay and lesbian voters across the state, i am more convinced than ever that as we seek to establish full equality for america's gay and lesbian citizens, i will provide more effective leadership than my opponent [ted kennedy].

I don't want to be married. i'm very happy with a civil partnership. if gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership. the word 'marriage,' i think, puts a lot of people off. you get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. heterosexual people get married. we can have civil partnerships.
Gay Thinking Rights
I'm so used to artists saying to me, "listen, i'm going to have five pages done next week," and then three weeks later i'm phoning them, begging them for two pages. and stuart [immonen]is a guy who will promise you five pages and deliver six pages, and the six pages are even better than you could have ever imagined.

A society that puts equality - in the sense of equality of outcome - ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality or freedom. the use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom. on the other hand, a society that puts freedom first will, as a happy by-product, end up with both greater freedom and greater equality. freedom means diversity but also mobility. it preserves the opportunity for today's less well off to become tomorrow's rich, and in the process, enables almost everyone, from top to bottom, to enjoy a richer and fuller life.

Love will never be anywhere except where equality and unity are..... and there can be no love where love does not find equality or is not busy creating equality. nor is there any pleasure without equality. practice equality in human society. learn to love, esteem, consider all people like yourself. what happens to another, be it bad or good, pain or joy, ought to be as if it happened to you.

Pain or pleasure? i say pleasure.
Pain Pleasure
Our society tends to regard as a sickness any mode of thought or behavior that is inconvenient for the system and this is plausible because when an individual doesn't fit into the system it causes pain to the individual as well as problems for the system. thus the manipulation of an individual to adjust him to the system is seen as a cure for a sickness and therefore as good.
Pain Our Society Manipulation
There is no pain worse than not achieving a dream when it is your fault. if god did not want you to have it, that is one thing. but if you do not get what you desire because you are lazy, there is no pain worse than that.
Dream Pain Lazy
I said: what about my eyes? god said: keep them on the road. i said: what about my passion? god said: keep it burning. i said: what about my heart? god said: tell me what you hold inside it? i said: pain and sorrow? he said: stay with it. the wound is the place where the light enters you.
