More quotes by Steven Petrow
You know, my goal is not to convince you that I'm right or that you're wrong. About homophobia. Gun violence. Racism. Whatever the issue. I'm really trying hard with you - and others - to have a respectful discussion, debate about these issues.
Steven Petrow
Too many people think that good manners are about subjugating yourself to others. Not true. Respect, and just as important, self-respect are two key elements in this equation.
Steven Petrow
I keep reading that Donald Trump is the most pro-LGBT GOP presidential nominee of all time - and I actually think that's true.
Steven Petrow
I really don't understand how parents can talk about gay couples' PDA as a problem or a transgender teen's suicide and not the fact that too many of our kids are being murdered in the schools and on the streets.
Steven Petrow
There's nothing you can say that won't make you seem ungrateful or rude.
Steven Petrow
What really surprised me was that more than half of all deaths by gunshot are suicides, more than 20,000 a year, about 58 a day.

Putting our heads in the sand is not a wise strategy.

I think identity issues have their place in the workplace, less so personal behaviors.

Steven Petrow
You do not need to be female to be offended.
Steven Petrow
Rely on facts, figures, principles of equality and fairness.
Steven Petrow
Cross-dressing is more of a set of actions or behaviors and not synonymous with gender identity (straight, gay, bisexual, transgender, among others).
Steven Petrow
Being LGBT is not a choice. It's not about a sexual proclivity. It's not a lifestyle, as you put it. It's about our identity. Pride is a time when we come together to celebrate our community and when others do, too. Just as we do for other racial, ethnic, and religious groups that are part of the tossed salad nature of our society.
Steven Petrow
Acceptance comes through understanding.
Steven Petrow
The murkiness of Donald Trump's position is really what distinguishes him from other Republican nominees and contenders who have been steadfast in their opposition to LGBTQ equality.
Steven Petrow
As for LGBTQ people supporting Donald Trump (or other Republicans), I do understand that some of them value his stances on immigration, climate change (I should say the war on coal), and the economy over those of equality, fairness, and justice.
