"Though the word beautification makes the concept sound merely cosmetic, it involves much more: clean water, clean air, clean roadsides, safe waste disposal and preservation of valued old landmarks as well as great parks and wilderness areas. To me â€¦ beautification means our total concern for the physical and human quality we pass on to our children and the future."

It seems weâ€™re just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I donâ€™t think that they should define the terms of the debate. I also feel like people think I was walking around in a cloud and didnâ€™t realize I was gay, which I find really offensive. I find it offensive to me, but I also find it offensive to all the men Iâ€™ve been out with.”
“I've noticed from my fans that we hide the things that we are facing.”
