2007 Ad

"We made no large advances. Many smaller ones, yes, but that is evolution, not a turning point."

"In Colorado we got a mini ENDA, hate-crimes legislation, and a bill supporting gay adoption--this was a great year]"

"There were some successful events, but for the most part GLBT people had little to celebrate. But each year is a bit better. I don't feel there will be a true turning point until Washington recognizes GLBT people as full citizens."

"Sure ... a turning point backward."

"I wish I could say we reached a turning point ... I wish I could say I believed a turning point is just around the corner. But from where I sit, there is still a long and difficult road ahead of us before we are treated as equals and are not made a lightning rod when the Right wants to polarize the voting population against us."

"Did the hate-crimes bill pass this year? Uh, no!"

"Take heart in the major progress that is occurring around the world--that's where 2007 was the turning point."

"Every year is a turning point for gay rights."
