Man versus woman equals fun. man versus man equals gay. woman versus woman equals awesome. man versus pillow equals crazy. pillow versus pillow equals crazy awesome - that's a real pillow fight right there. you see two pillows fighting, you know something's going down. they're designed for relaxation. if they're fighting, what hope do we have? one time i saw two geese fighting, and i was like, 'this is a pillow fight ahead of time.

"let's say we discover the gene that says the kid's gonna be gay. how many parents, if they knew before the kid was gonna be born, [that he] was gonna be gay, they would take the pregnancy to term? well, you don't know but let's say half of them said, "oh, no, i don't wanna do that to a kid."

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.

We've had a culture war roaring away, and the kinds of people who want to abuse and discriminate against gay people who are adults can't really lay their hands on us unless they want to be gay-bashers and go to jail. they abuse us from afar and in the abstract, they abuse us with checkbooks and ballots, but their kids go to school on monday morning. and there's a gay kid. and they feel they have license to beat that gay kid up in a way that i don't think they did when i was in school. i think it's gotten worse.

Sometimes when i'm alone i cry, cause i am on my own. the tears i cry are bitter and warm. they flow with life but take no form i cry because my heart is torn. i find it difficult to carry on. if i had an ear to confide in, i would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. the world moves fast and it would rather pass by. then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. and sometimes... i cry and no one cares about why.
