“The American people could not be clearer about their opposition to the continued exclusion of lesbian and gay Americans from our armed forces. Support for repealing the military's ban has grown by fifteen percent in the South, eight percent among moderate Republicans and nine percent among Catholics. In virtually every community, constituents are sending a clear message to their elected leaders that the time has come to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' Our nation supports treating everyone who sacrifices for our national defense, whether gay or straight, with the dignity and respect they deserve.”

“Thank you for changing the world one cubicle and one workplace at a time.”
Selisse Berry
“I believe that no one should ever have to choose between a career we love and living our lives with authenticity and integrity”
“Out & Equal is about work. It's about authenticity. It's also about justice. Essentially it's about love, because when you get right down to it, the civil rights movement for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community is really about having the freedom to be who we are, and to love who we love.”
“We work to create workplaces where everyone can bring our whole selves to work every single day.”
“I do not trust people who don't love themselves and yet tell me, 'I love you.' There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.”
Maya Angelou
“I am not homophobic. I have no problem sitting next to a gay couple. They need to be loved as much as everyone else, and I am not ashamed to say that I love gay people.”
