No American should be forced to choose between their spouse and their country.
Andrew Sullivan
Every generation is born into, for the most part, a heterosexual family.
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
In this nonfundamentalist understanding of faith, practice is more important than theory, love more important than law, and mystery is seen as an insight into truth rather than an obstacle. It is the great lie of our time that all religious faith has to be fundamentalist to be valid.
Andrew Sullivan
My father has been a rock for me every since.
Andrew Sullivan
The Dixiecrats meet again in New York. Now they're called Republicans.
Andrew Sullivan
...when a reporter is quoting Sid Blumenthal on president Bush, you know he's scraping the barrel.
Andrew Sullivan
The good news about me is that my friends and social network is entirely independent of politics.

When I first started talking about gay marriage, most people in the gay community looked at me as if I was insane or possibly a fascist reactionary.

For me, friendship has always been the most accessible of relationships - certainly far more so than romantic love. Friendship, I learned, provided a buffer in the interplay of emotions, a distance that made the risk of intimacy bearable, a space that allowed the other person to remain safely another person.

Al Gore's problem, in my view, is that he never liked politics. He's actually deeply uncomfortable in it but felt he had to do it because of his father. He's much more comfortable in a private sector role and has, in fact, been much more successful in a private sector role, and I admire him for that.

My own view is simply that there are some very basic rules very simple rules that apply to all writing in a way, which is: don't lie if you're wrong, correct do not misrepresent and try and keep oneself intellectually honest - which means, as a writer, the very difficult task in public of admitting you were wrong.
Andrew Sullivan
The middle part of the country - the great red zone that voted for Bush - is clearly ready for war. The decadent Left in its enclaves on the coasts is not dead - and may well mount what amounts to a fifth column.
Andrew Sullivan
Obama is looking good because he kept his nerve and retained his restraint. That's a tough combo: nerve and restraint. It takes a cold-bloodedness to pull this off, and there are times when ice seems to run through the man's veins.
Andrew Sullivan
The important things are not worth knowing because they are useful. They are worth knowing because they are true.
Andrew Sullivan
Personally, I'd rather have pins stuck in my eyes than endure a conversation with John Kerry, but I'd love to hang with Bush.
Andrew Sullivan
I think you earn your reputation for honesty and integrity literally hour-by-hour, and taste for that matter.

Michael Moore: a man who never without an excuse for keeping murdering tyrants in power. But now he's supporting the man who bombed Milosevic into submission? How about an explanation, Mr Moore?
Andrew Sullivan
My own early crusade for same-sex marriage, for example, is now mainstream gay politics. It wasn't when I started.

I'm not going to sit around an pretend I'm not thinking things on my blog when I am thinking them and when I'm open to rebuttal.
