"'The homosexuals have enormous influence [in San Francisco],' ... says [Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute, a far-right think tank]. The homosexual lifestyle is about pleasing oneself ... not planning for the future, not setting aside money for kids, not trying to create a situation where the generations come together. It's about having fun. It's about indulging in whatever desire you want at any given time.'"
--From an interview in the Agape Press, a "Christian" news source, June 2
"Ed Klein's new hatchet-job book on Sen. Hillary Clinton [The Truth About Hillary] says she was heavily influenced by the 'culture of lesbianism' at her alma mater, Wellesley College--but a classmate of the former first lady tells us there was no such thing.... Nancy Wanderer [told Page Six,] 'Yes, I am a lesbian, but I wasn't at Wellesley or for 20 years afterward.... There was no lesbian culture there at the time. I couldn't have told you one person who was lesbian. If there was, it was underground.... I hope [Klein] doesn't suggest there was anything going on, because there just wasn't."

"[Outfielder Johnny] Damon [of the Boston Red Sox, who got a makeover on a recent Queer Eye episode] told San Francisco Chronicle columnist Gwen Knapp last month, 'If there's a gay guy in baseball, we have to help him out.' ...
"[The] rose-petal foot baths and paraffin wax treatments [featured on Queer Eye]are probably not coming to a major league Clubhouse near you. But some gay players are. In fact, as I write this, they'll be showing up for work in a few hours. And one of these days, one of them is going to take Johnny Damon up on his offer."
