Quote of the Week:
“Given the fact that the current Republican leadership in the House has never hesitated to attack gay people, it’s even more absurd for people like Newt Gingrich to say the reason they didn’t take prompt action was because they didn’t want to be accused of ‘gay bashing.’ Cut me a break.”
Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
