“If your partner happens to be the same sex as you, I don't have a problem with that and I don't think anyone else should.”

—  Michael Franti

Interview with CollageFoundation.org
Context: I'm glad Bush is coming out so strongly against gay marriage, because I think it's time in this country for people to wake up... If your partner happens to be the same sex as you, I don't have a problem with that and I don't think anyone else should. We're not doing a service to our kids by cloistering them from reality. It's better to discuss reality.
