Bigots Quote by Sam E. Kraemer
““I live in this fucking country, and I pay my goddamn taxes like every other asshole in this place. If I can’t kiss the man I care about in public, then why are we on the street, risking our fucking lives every goddamn day? Why not just let the bigots, racists, and greedy people take over? Why should we try to uphold the law at all, Craig? If the laws don’t apply to all of us, then why uphold any of them?””
