Quotes of the Week:
“The death of a family member or friend is always a sad occasion and we express our condolences to all those who were close to the Rev. Jerry Falwell. Unfortunately, we will always remember him as a founder and leader of America’s anti-gay industry, someone who exacerbated the nation’s appalling response to the onslaught of the AIDS epidemic, someone who demonized and vilified us for political gain and someone who used religion to divide rather than unite our nation.”
— Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
Associated Press, May 15, 2007
“Shelter staff often have the least training and the least oversight, compared to schools or anywhere else [serving gay youths].”
— Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
