Cheers and Jeers: Rum and Coke FRIDAY!

From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE?

I Feel Pretty and Witty and...Takei!

Pearls of wisdom as we head into the last weekend of Gay Pride Month:

"If y'all want to get married, it's all right with me. I can't say it's worked out too damn well for those of us of the heterosexual persuasion."
---Late Texas Gov. Ann Richards
-
My mother made me a homosexual.
If I gave her the wool, would she make me one too?
---Graffiti
-
"I'm glad that I believe very fervently that Jesus would not be on the side of the gay bashers. To think that people say, as they used to say, that AIDS is God's punishment for homosexuality? Abominable. Abominable."
---Bishop Desmond Tutu
-
When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.
---Epitaph of Sgt. Leonard P. Matlovich
-
If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: Hello? Can't work today. Still queer.
---Robin Tyler
-
I had the experience with The Joy of Gay Sex, when it was being distributed in Canada, that a woman thought she was buying The Joy of Cooking. She went home and looked up "chicken" and was absolutely appalled. She created a tremendous fuss.
---Author Edmund White
-
"I was traveling in Tennessee and I saw a bumper sticker that I'll never forget. It said: "HOMOSEXUAL: Every Good Southern Family Has One"
---Bishop V. Gene Robinson

And a tip 'o the tiara to the legion of straight supporters here at Daily Kos for your unequivocal support of the GLBT community, both within and beyond these crazy orange walls. Achieving equality isn't possible without you on board, and every victory we celebrate is yours, too. So, thanks. I've begun the paperwork to adopt all of you.

P.S. Fingers crossed that, sometime tonight New York will be able to stand on the bridge of the ship of fate and yell: We shail into hishtory!

10:30pmET Update: I [heart] NY! By a vote of 33-29, WE SHAIL!!!!!
