"Homosexuality is God's way of insuring that the truly gifted aren't burdened with children."

"The only difference I ever really see is an obvious one with religion " and that is a difference of culture. It seems so reasonable that each culture has its own very specific idea of God and what "It" is. We are all taught so many things that are different from other cultures. If I was born in Ireland or Latvia or Italy, my idea of God would reflect that geographic placing appropriately, and if I was born somewhere else, I wouldn't know what it would be like to be from a Stormin' Mormon family from the prairies of Canada. One thing I was never taught was to hate anyone."
-- Jann Arden

"Jesus did not say, "If I be lifted up I will draw some". Jesus said, "If I be lifted up I will draw all, all, all, all, all. Black, white, yellow, rich, poor, clever, not so clever, beautiful, not so beautiful. It's one of the most radical things. All, all, all, all, all, all, all, all. All belong. Gay, lesbian, so-called straight. All, all are meant to be held in this incredible embrace that will not let us go. All."
-- Archbishop Desmond Tutu

"The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision."

"Jackie Biskupski is running for a seat in the Utah Legislature, and she's attracting a lot of attention because she's a lesbian. Her Republican opponent, Dan Alderson, is a staunch Mormon, and is running a negative ad campaign calling her lifestyle abnormal and deviant. His six wives agree."
-- Rick Mercer

"I think being gay is just being a person who has a different thought on life. They're just people. I don't think that God categorizes people. I went to Disneyland one time, and it rained -- it's so awful when it rains at Disneyland -- and everyone disappeared inside. And when the rain stopped and everybody came out, every single person had yellow raincoats on. You couldn't tell the fat from the thin, the rich from the poor. You couldn't tell anyone from anyone else. And that day I looked up and I said, "God, I think this is how you see us, all in yellow raincoats, and only you have the permission to look under those yellow raincoats."
-- Tammy Faye Messner (formerly Bakker)

"Last year during Gay Pride in Rome, the pope spent a whole day in prison blessing murderers, then came out and condemned homosexuals."
-- Tom Ryan

"You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image, when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."
-- Anne Lamott

"" think about the possibility that sex itself might be sacred, or a way of coming in contact with God " go out and have great sex, then come back and think about God. I bet you'll be closer."
-- Sky Gilbert

"You left him out there by himself, but he wasn't alone. He had God. I feel better knowing he wasn't alone."
-- Denis Shepard (at the sentencing of his son Matthew's killers)
