And that is how it always works: it gets confessions regardless of their accuracy.
Andrew Sullivan
We currently have a government planning to go to Mars, heal broken marriages, and build bridges to nowhere - and also one that cannot wage a war competently, cannot respond to a hurricane adequately, and cannot enforce borders.

Andrew Sullivan
I've never been a partisan, I've never been a Republican, I've never been a Democrat, ever, which is why I was very frustrated being called a gay Republican when I never attached myself to that.
Andrew Sullivan
In many ways, my attachment to human freedom was completely compatible with my right to live freely as a homosexual.
Andrew Sullivan
There is something about hearing your president affirm your humanity that you don't know what effect it has until you hear it.
Andrew Sullivan
You just have to keep going. I mean I think our job, my job, is to keep articulating that I exist and that there are lots of people like me exist and we just have no home.
Andrew Sullivan
