‘Honestly, if the worst he can say about me is that I’m gay, then I think I’ll be fine. I can handle it.’ Actor Zac Efron on gay blogger Perez Hilton, who claims on his web site that Efron is gay (Details, Jan./Feb. issue)

“Well,
I
don’t
think
that’s
a
radical
view
to
say
we’re
going
to
affirm
marriage.
I
think
the
radical
view
is
to
say
that
we’re
going
to
change
the
definition
of
marriage
so
that
it
can
mean
two
men,
two
women,
a
man
and
three
women,
a
man
and
a
child,
a
man
and
animal.
Again,
once
we
change
the
definition,
the
door
is
open
to
change
it
again.
I
think
the
radical
position
is
to
make
a
change
in
what’s
been
historic.” Republican
presidential
candidate
Mike
Huckabee,
when
asked
if
it
was
his
goal
to
bring
the
Constitution
into
strict
conformity
with
the
Bible
if
elected
(Beliefnet,

“It
was
like
warfare.
It
was
a
time
unlike
anything
since
the
Vietnam
War
era,
when
you
had
the
sense
that
the
whole
world
around
you
was
divided.” David
Moats,
author
of
"Civil
Wars:
A
Battle
For
Gay
Marriage,"
on
Vermont’s
civil
unions
controversy
in
2000

“The
lawsuit
was
about
changing
the
landscape
and
making
a
statement
out
there
that
gay
people,
just
like
heterosexuals,
have
the
right
and
desire
to
meet
other
people
with
whom
they
can
fall
in
love." Todd
Schneider,
lawyer
for
Linda
Carlson,
who
was
denied
access
to
the
eHarmony
dating
site
because
she
is
gay

“I
didn’t
have
any
girl
crushes
in
my
life
when
I
was
younger,
real-life
ones,
and
after
I
shot
‘Two
Girls
in
Love,’
I
got
a
crush
on
someone
that
worked
on
that
movie…
that
crush
probably
turned
into
my
first
experience
with
a
woman,
and
it
was
beautiful
and
amazing,
and
it
never
happened
again,
and
I
wished
it
had.
But
anyway,
there
you
go.” “The
L
Word”
star
Laurel
Holloman,
on
how
her
lesbian
role
led
to
her
first
experience
with
a
woman
(AfterEllen.com,

"I
now
realize
how
important
marriage
is.
I’ve
[known
I
am]
gay
since
I
was
a
teenager.
Gay
marriage
was
always
something
that’s
going
to
happen
in
the
future,
but
I
couldn’t
go
get
one,
so
it
wasn’t
on
the
table.
All
of
a
sudden
it
was
on
the
table.
And
I
got
one.
I
was
like,
whoa,
I
really
wanted
this
the
whole
time,
and
I
was
ready
for
it,
and
I
just
told
myself
I
wasn’t
because
it
wasn’t
feasible." Sean
Fitz,
who
married
his
boyfriend
Tim
McQuillan
last
year
in
Iowa,
when
gay
marriage
was
legal
in
Polk
County
(Des

“Oh,
I’m
delighted
to
hear
that,
but
I
have
to
say
I’m
more
aware
of
my
husband’s.
That
appeal?
I
understand
it.
But
I
think
I
turn
a
blind
eye
to
my
own
because
I
get
embarrassed
or
I’m
shy
or
I
don’t
take
compliments
well.
…
I
can’t
speak
for
him,
but
I
know
that
there
are
plenty
of
guys
that
I’ve
been
around
who
have
expressed
if
not
glee
for
me,
then
envy
of
me.” Actress
Diane
Lane,
claiming
she
is
unaware
of
her
gay
following,
but
that
her
husband,
Josh
Brolin,
has
a
large
gay
fan
base
