It’s a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I’d be a drag queen.
Dolly PartonThroughout my life, I’ve always been really close with girls and made friends with girls. And I’ve always been a really sickly, feminine person anyhow, so I thought I was gay for a while because I didn’t find any of the girls in my high school attractive at all.
Kurt CobainI think that there’s no doubt that as I see friends, families, children of gay couples who are thriving, you know, that has an impact on how I think about these issues.
Barack ObamaI believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that’s not what America’s about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don’t contract them.
Barack ObamaI love being a woman and I was not one of these women who rose through professional life by wearing men’s clothes or looking masculine. I loved wearing bright colors and being who I am.
Madeleine AlbrightHomophobia is real in this country.
Kamala HarrisI don’t think that a same-sex marriage is the way God intended it to be.
Joel OsteenI like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny. Which is a problem when I’m walking down the street.
Angelina JolieI do have a lot of gays in my family now, but some will never come out.
Dolly PartonI know that a large part of my fan base is gay. They’ve shown me love from the start. I mean in this industry, everyone from my glam people to my dancers are gay. You can’t be homophobic in this line of work – I’m a pop star!
RihannaCreativity has got to start with humanity and when you’re a human being, you feel, you suffer. You’re gay, you’re sick, you’re nervous or whatever.
Marilyn MonroeI definitely feel closer to the feminine side of the human being than I do the male – or the American idea of what a male is supposed to be. Just watch a beer commercial and you’ll see what I mean.
Kurt CobainI started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn’t.
Kurt CobainI like to talk about lint and coasters, the expansion of the universe and maybe McDonald’s. I’m completely turned off by the idea of politics.
Steven WrightEverybody has their thing they like or don’t like to see. It’s all in your head. That’s why people take their own pictures, because it’s difficult for someone else to capture what you seek.
RihannaI’m not lesbian; I’m not bisexual; I’m not straight. I’m just curious.
Alice WalkerI believe the scripture says that being gay is a sin.
Joel OsteenGays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world.
Joel OsteenPeople were saying that David Geffen and I had gotten married and it just blew me away. Not that they thought I was gay, but that they thought I could land a guy that hot.
Keanu ReevesI’ve said very clearly, including in a State of the Union address, that I’m against ‚don’t ask, don’t tell‘ and that we’re going to end this policy.
Barack ObamaWhat the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope… It is not a reflection of all religious people.
Lady GagaBisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.
Woody AllenEveryone got kind of crazy with me mentioning I was in love with a woman.
Angelina JolieEverybody’s journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality.
James BaldwinIn terms of my involvement in ‚don’t ask, don’t tell‘ and marriage equality and anti-bullying and social emotional learning in schools – these are all things that arise out of my relationship with the world and with my fans.
Lady GagaI can’t go out with a Republican.
Madeleine AlbrightIf I wouldn’t have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle.
Kurt CobainI know I will never be happy, but I know I can be gay!
Marilyn MonroeIt is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple: one must be a woman manly, or a man womanly.
Virginia WoolfSometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don’t think God categorizes sins.
Joel OsteenIf the standard transsexual person wants to be regarded as he or she, my sense is I’ll address you according to the part that you appear to be playing.
Jordan PetersonI didn’t know any gay people in my childhood.
Dolly PartonIf someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? We shouldn’t marginalise people for this. They must be integrated into society.
Pope FrancisA person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‚Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?‘ We must always consider the person.
Pope FrancisI can’t help the way you was born if you was gay.
Kendrick LamarI am not gay, but if I were, I would be the first one running out of the closet.
Dolly PartonI like a drama.
Clint EastwoodI’m very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.
Marilyn MonroeI would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood.
George CarlinIf you can’t move and talk to people that you see, it’s not really my scene.
Stephen CurryPart of the core information that I’ve been purveying is that identity politics is a sick game. You don’t play racial, ethnic, and gender identity games. The Left plays them on behalf of the oppressed, let’s say, and the Right tends to play them on behalf of nationalism and ethnic pride. I think they’re equally dangerous.
Jordan PetersonI have some good friends of my own who happen to be gay, and when it comes to gay, straight, or whatever, I’m for anything life-affirmative. I’m for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who’s different.
Matthew McConaugheyI’m not focused on the gay and lesbian movement.
Billy GrahamIn a sense I portray myself in a very androgynous way, and I love androgyny.
Lady GagaWe 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 ObamaI like surprises.
Christopher HitchensI married my best friend that happens to be a girl.
Kevin GatesTell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?… It is necessary to accompany them with mercy.
Pope FrancisJesus never said a word about homosexuality. In all of his teachings about multiple things – he never said that gay people should be condemned. I personally think it is very fine for gay people to be married in civil ceremonies.
Jimmy CarterHonestly, I like everything, boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny.
Angelina JolieI have a big gay and lesbian following and they’ve been very loyal and kind to me.
Dolly PartonI never had any coffee or anything like that. I just never tried it.
Tom Brady
