People move for all different reasons, let me help you with all of them!

On Watermark’s 20th Anniversary:

“I remember being out with my friends while in high school, and sneaking issues of Watermark in my book-bag as if it was something taboo. I’d grab a few issues for the other Gay/ Bi students who would ask to read them. I graduated in 1997 and things have GREATLY changed since then!” —DannyG

“Well thank God she is defending marriage... you know, what with all the straight couples filing for divorce because gays and lesbians are allowed to marry.” —Yung Patriot

“She’s a piece of crap. The law will change soon [and] all 50 states will have to get with the times or lose lawsuits one after another.” —Fred Sergeant

“She will be a parlor joke in years to come.” —Jimmypalmieri

On Orange County Clerks offices all accepting domestic partner registries:

“Apparently there is some sanity north of Broward. It’s nice to see that Mr. Fernandez is welcoming—and prepared.” —DavidHart

“I appreciate Fernandez’ actions to make the Comptroller’s DPR forms more accessible. However, with all due respect, Fernandez did nothing to assist us during the fight for the DPR.” —mary meeks

On Facebook deleting drag queens for using false names:

“The only reason Facebook does this is because they can’t market to an alias. It’s all about generating marketing revenue through advertising. They profile your every click and sell that info to marketers.” —Nicholas Cardello

“It has always been in Facebook’s “terms of service.” Everyone agreed to it. They just need to make a “fan page” and move on!” —Matt Moss

“Singling out drag performers is not cool. What about the tons of married women who use their maiden names to allow schoolmates to find them? And children who do not include a real name to protect their privacy?” —Dana McElvy

“This has always been a rule. This is not the end of the world: (1) Change the name to a real name on your current drag profile; (2) Create a Fan page (with your drag name) and then invite your friends from your real page to like your fan page. Yes, it’s going to suck moving pictures, videos, getting likes, etc., but it can be done!” —Sasha Citino
