HomoQuotable - Gwen Patton

"We don’t want people to hurt us, we want people to run away from us, and the best way we have found to do that is to be armed. Now if someone tries to attack us, we can defend ourselves. Ideally we don’t want any altercation at all, but if there is a perception that the gay person on the street could have a concealed gun, it might make the perpetrator think twice. Guns can be a very useful tool, but society has turned them into something they are not. They aren’t the boogeyman. So some think of us as traitors. But at the end of the day, it’s about recognizing that the government shouldn’t be taking our rights away – our rights to be armed, and our rights to be happy and with the person we love." - Gwen Patton, head of Pink Pistols, in a Fox News article about "growing" LGBT support for the Second Amendment.
