Quotes of the Week:


“We must break the mindset that this isn’t our problem, when the fact is that gay and bisexual men are still the majority of people living with HIV and still the majority of new infections. This has to be the year when our community brings HIV/AIDS back to the core of our agenda for complete equality.”


— Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
The Bilerico Project, December 1, 2007

“The public overwhelmingly supports hate-crime protection. It would be a plus for Congress to pick it up. We’re absolutely not going to be quiet. If they couldn’t pass it in 2007, then they should pass it in 2008, election year or not.”


— Dave Noble, Director of Public Policy and Government Affairs, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
