I don't think it's the responsibility of gays and lesbians to reinvent the family.

If he just means for gays and lesbians to just be there and be quiet, that won't happen,

I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'

I'm surprised by the level of homophobia ? bias against gays and lesbians ? there is on campus.

We lose sleep over that. But I think Michael J. Fox [who played ultra-conservative kid Alex Keaton in 'Family Ties'] was aberrant.

To keep the peace, I do show things to my family before they come out, ... It's like a 'heads up, here's what I'm writing. If you really have a problem with it or you're never going to talk to me again, give me a call.'
