“Why is straight the default? Everyone should have to declare one way or another, and it shouldn't be this big awkward thing whether you're straight, gay, bi, or whatever. I'm just saying.”

“There is nothing loving about encouraging fear. Nothing. Fear leads to darkness, depression, anger, irrationality, anxiety, consternation, unrest, and ultimately, destruction.

Fear should never be the basis for why anyone does anything regarding the health of the mind, body, and spirit.”

“White shouldn't be the default any more than straight should be the default. There shouldn't even be a default.”
