"I don’t think it’s the responsibility of gays and lesbians to reinvent the family." ― Dan Savage Topic(s): Family More From Dan Savage "I got picked on a lot, even by teachers too. I liked to listen to musicals and bake, and my homeroom teacher found out and mocked me in front of the whole class for baking." "Women can go on marrying and pretending that their boyfriends and husbands are Mr. Darcy or some RomCom dream man. But where’s that going to get ’em? Besides divorce court?" "The cultural expectation should be if there’s infidelity, the marriage is more important than fidelity." More In Family "We were like a white family from the 1920s or something. My parents had this bizarre, different way of looking at things from the people that surrounded us. I went to an all-Mexican grade school and an all-black high school, and not many people in those places liked the same stuff as me."― Jack White "I come from a great family. I’ve seen family life and I know how wonderful, how nurturing, and how wonderful it can be."― Sidney Poitier "But let me perfectly clear, because I know you’ll hear the same old claims that rolling back these tax breaks means a massive tax increase on the American people: if your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime. I repeat: not one single dime."― Barack Obama
