I Was Still Closeted, But From The Day I Decided To Run For Office, Knowing That I Was Gay, I Decided That I Would, Of Course, Still Be Closeted But That I Would Work Very Hard For Gay Rights. It Would Be Totally Dishonorable, Being Gay, Not To Do That. So I Had That As Kind Of A Secondary Agenda.

We Were Giving Advice For The Single-worst Idea To Come Forward From A Group That's Been Rife With Them, It Would Be This: The Idea Is This: Let's Make The Tax Code Of America Better For Very Rich People; Let's Give Substantial Tax Relief To The Richest People We Can Find. Forget About The Person Making $40,000 A Year And Paying Social Security Payroll Tax. Forget About All Those Other People Paying Income Tax; We're Here To Give Tax Relief To The Richest 2% Of America.
