To put our arm around someone who is gay, someone who has an addiction, somebody who lives a different lifestyle, someone who is not what we think they should be… doing that has nothing to do with enabling them or accepting what they do as okay by us.

A good friend.”— Dan Pearce “There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.”— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
