“I play by the rules that are important. We protect our own because we can't count on anyone else to do so. I make it possible for men and women, the ones you work with who would otherwise drink themselves to death... Or whatever it is that gay cops end up doing to themselves because they can't come out... I make it possible for them to be open at work, make a good living, and do things that are meaningful and help others. The rules for way too long have been designed to keep us, and lots of other people, in our place. It's 1970 and we're not gonna play by those rules any longer.”
― Frank W. Butterfield, The Rowdy Renegade
