A Quote By

Mark Ruffalo, actor, currently starring in the highly anticipated The Kids Are Alright, on the anti-gay sentiment in the US and gay families:

“It's the last dying, kicking, screaming, caged animal response to a world that is changing, a world that's leaving a lot of those old, bigoted, un-accepting views behind. It's over.  We live down the street from a gay couple with a young son, my son goes and plays there and has lunch there.  My son is 8 years old, and not once has he come and asked why his friend has two poppas.  His family is no different to my family – they eat at the same time, send their kid to school, discipline him and love him the same way.  It's only the teaching that we give to the child that makes them see those distinctions.”
