"I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight."

"Some are in need because they are untrained for work—some because they cannot work, because they are too young or too old, blind or crippled. Some are in need because they are discriminated against for reasons they cannot help. Responding to their ills with scorn or suspicion is inconsistent with our moral precepts and inconsistent with their nearly universal preference to be independent."

–President Kennedy, February 1, 1962 (via andasfortakingitinstride)

"I didn’t know you had families."

Mitt Romney’s to LGBT people. Seriously? (via think-progress)

LGBTQ* people were born from volcanoes after ancient aliens planted eggs deep below the Earth’s crust thousands of years ago. Mittens knows what’s up.

This seems like one of the rudest things a human being can say. “I didn’t know you had families.” Think about all the privilege in that sentence. Just—he’s acting like LGBTQ people are animals.

People like him are the reason some don’t.

"Rape is rape, and the idea that we should be parsing, qualifying and slicing what types of rape we’re talking about doesn’t make sense to the American people… What I think these comments do underscore is why we shouldn’t have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men, making decisions on behalf of women"

"Proper etiquette for a straight/gay/lesbian individual when referring to their former significant other who is bisexual and dating another gender is not “He’s/She’s/Zhe’s back with men/women now.” More accurate would be, “He’s/She’s/Zhe’s seeing a man/woman now” And, if you’re not a biphobic tool, your best choice is “He/She/Zhe is seeing someone else now.”"

"I feel most people’s sexuality is enormously complicated. That’s what it means to be human. Wouldn’t it be great if we honored that complexity rather than turn it into gossip or ridicule? Wouldn’t it be great if we accepted sexual diversity, in ourselves and others, without condemning it?"

"If you want a president who will make things better in the African American community, you are looking at him."

Mitt Romney, the funniest man in Amercia.

"The first dog, or FDOTUS, has been planned for weeks. We simply cannot allow the possibility that your dog could out shadow FDOTUS. Ma’am, we need you to kill the dog."

"I may end up with a partner one day, but even then, I will never have to “choose a side”. I will simply be a bisexual dating the person she loves. You see, if they gave out gold stars for not second-guessing my nature, I’d have 30. I’m a fully-realized bisexual who’s never been confused… And honey, for the record, I don’t choose sides. I choose people."

"People say, “I’m going to sleep now,” as if it were nothing. But it’s really a bizarre activity. “For the next several hours, while the sun is gone, I’m going to become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand. When the sun returns, I will resume my life.” If you didn’t know what sleep was, and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie you’d seen. “They had these people, you know? And they would walk around all day and be okay? And then, once a day, usually after dark, they would lie down on these special platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost completely, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and experiences that were completely impossible in real life. As they lay there, completely vulnerable to their enemies, their only movements were to occasionally shift from one position to another; or, if one of the ‘mind adventures’ got too real, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren’t unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee.” So, next time you see someone sleeping, make believe you’re in a science fiction movie. And whisper, “The creature is regenerating itself."
