Quotes of the Week:
“If this was an isolated incident, a sincerely made apology might be considered, but Don Imus is a serial offender and his ‘I’m a good person’ protestations ring hollow. His defamations rend the social fabric and insult, demean and degrade all of us, but especially the undeserving targets of his rage.”
— Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
Windy City Times, April 18, 2007
“Hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars have been utterly wasted on ‘abstinence-only until marriage’ programs. Why? To appease a rabidly vocal minority that cares more about getting our government to promote their religious ideology than they do about the health of young people.”
— Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
