'They're sophisticated, worldly people and they'd get a sense of how my hormones react, and if we have a really good-looking extra in a Star Fleet uniform, body tight, then Walter [ Koenig, who played Ensign Pavel Chekov ] would poke me, sort of call my attention to it. We've been great friends.' — George Takei, who played Lt. Hikaru Sulu on the original Star Trek series, when asked by the Denver gay newspaper Out Front, 'Were you out to your fellow actors when you were in Star Trek?', May 10.

'Gay people fall in love just like straight people, and if they feel that strongly and feel that they can make that commitment then, yes, I believe in it [ same-sex marriage ] . I have gay friends who are married, but, hmmm, let me think ... no, I have not been to a gay marriage.' — Brady Bunch mom Florence Henderson to the Palm Springs gay magazine The Bottom Line, June 9.

'I was aware that Bob [ Brady Bunch dad Robert Reed ] was gay from the pilot. He didn't tell me—I have very good gaydar. We were doing the pilot and got to the love scene, and Bob got very nervous. He said things like, 'I don't want to do it this way.' I thought, 'I know what's wrong. Bob is gay.' Our director didn't put up with very much, and was getting a little angry. I went to him and said, 'Why don't you back off and let me handle the scene and not make such a fuss?' He did, and the scene went great. I knew Bob was gay. The kids knew. It was unspoken. I always felt great compassion for him because he essentially had to lead a double life. Bob adored the kids, we were his family. He was very discreet. He wasn't flamboyant at all. He knew that I knew, and we didn't have to talk about it.' — Brady Bunch mom Florence Henderson to the Palm Springs gay magazine The Bottom Line, June 9.

'Two weeks before he died [ of AIDS ] , Bob [ Brady Bunch dad Robert Reed ] called me and said: 'Florence, I told you I'd be honest. If I can just ask you one favor—would you call all the kids? I am not going to make it and I am fine with it.' I called them, and all of them fell apart.' — Brady Bunch mom Florence Henderson to the Palm Springs gay magazine The Bottom Line, June 9.

'The Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians is outraged that the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force would join forces with pro-abortion organizations. ... Not all members of the LGBT community are pro-choice and it is far past the time when the stereotype ... some of the 'leaders' of our community attempt to force upon us is removed. No survey suggests that members of the LGBT community are any more pro-choice than the average American.' — From a June 6 PLAGAL press release.

'As you see here, and I think this is maybe the most important prop we'll have during the entire debate, my wife and I have been married 47 years. We have 20 kids and grandkids. I'm really proud to say that in the recorded history of our family, we've never had a divorce or any kind of homosexual relationship.' — U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., during Senate debate on the failed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, June 7.
