Andrew Sullivan
I'm openly gay because I'm a Catholic.
Andrew Sullivan
It's only because you can now watch cheerfully biased Fox News that you begin to realize how cheerlessly biased CNN really is - and always was. Or CBS. Or ABC. Or the BBC.
Andrew Sullivan
I think of these imperial adventures like welfare programs you start them with all good intentions, they never end, they go on forever and get more expensive as they go on.
Andrew Sullivan
[T]he myth that there was somehow a magic wand in the early 1980s to cure AIDS - a wand that Reagan deliberately refused to wave - is now almost conventional wisdom.
Andrew Sullivan
We've got fuel prices coming down and good travel numbers coming out, so it's not surprising airline stocks are going up.
Andrew Sullivan
In many ways, my attachment to human freedom was completely compatible with my right to live freely as a homosexual.
Andrew Sullivan
The dirty little secret of journalism is that it really isn't a profession, it's a craft. All you need is a telephone and a conscience and you're all set.
Andrew Sullivan
The essence of romantic love is not the company of a lover but the pursuit.
