I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage.

We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old – and that’s the criterion by which I’ll be selecting my judges. Barack Obama

If a person is homosexual by nature – that is, if one’s sexuality is as intrinsic a part of one’s identity as gender or skin color – then society can no more deny a gay person access to the secular rights and religious sacraments because of his homosexuality than it can reinstate Jim Crow. Jon Meacham

There’s nothing wrong with being gay. I have plenty of friends who are going to hell. Stephen Colbert

I can’t support a religion that doesn’t support my brother. Anne Hathaway

Because bisexual people almost have a foot in the gay and the straight world, their friends can misunderstand them too.

My straight friends accept I’m gay but they forget that some people don’t. Even now, if I go into a party, people don’t usually assume I’m gay, so you have to keep coming out.

Are there certain kind of impulses that lead people in that direction? Yes. But I think one of the really deadly aspects of this is to let people define themselves as gay.

You know, when you don’t go on TV and talk about how many women you sleep with, some people in Hollywood, that are supposedly ‘in the know,’ start whispering that you’re gay. If I were gay, I wouldn’t be ashamed to admit it, but I’m not. Adam Sandler
