Able Quote by Neil Patrick Harris
“Being able to live my life transparently does empower me to feel like I can be myself more. It's easier for me to flirt with girls now that girls know that I'm gay. It almost makes it a sexier encounter than if I was trying to pretend that I was straight.”

The next thing you know, [gay marriage] is legal.” quote by Tila Tequila](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c1c/tila-tequila-20796_fine_it-is-because-of-me-i-definitely-think-m_511447.jpg)
