Accepting Quote by Arj Barker
“Just open your heart man and accept that people are gay. Thousands, probably millions of people are gay. And until we find a cure - we will practice unconditional love and tolerance towards these people. And we will let them get married because they're easier to track that way.”

![“What we always want to say [in X-men] is, "It's OK to be yourself, and actually it's a gift to be yourself. Whatever it is that you have, that may be your gift." I think that's what we always want to say, and spread it out, so have tolerance for other people who are different also.” quote by Lauren Shuler Donner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/dff/lauren-shuler-donner-11057_being-yourself_what-we-always-want-to-say-in-x-men-is-i_261591.jpg)
