Instead of having gay marriage in California, no, we’re gonna have gay marriage across the country. When my wife and I leave California, I want to have my marriage also recognized in Nevada, in Arizona, all the way to New York. I’m proud to be a woman, I’m proud to be a black woman and I’m proud to be gay.

Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) “as his go-to guy on AIDS should send chills down the spine of everyone with HIV as well as those who care about us.” (...) “Coburn has often pursued a religious agenda at the expense of people with AIDS,” Strub said. “He is familiar with the issues, but he is no friend of people with HIV".
