HomoQuotable - David Mixner

"If the president doesn't want his own words to be used in a hate-filled campaign then he better speak up now. We all remember what happened in California.

Many liberals and African-Americans were confused and voted "YES ON 8" as a result of those mailings and ads. Let's not let that happen again." - Activist, author and National Equality March co-founder David Mixner, demanding that President Obama come out strongly against Maine's anti-gay marriage amendment.
