Over at Advocate.com you can read funny, sweet and all-around awesome quotes from variously notable celebs, politicians and big mouths. Out's May cover boy Greg Berlanti offers this:

Since, unfortunately, neither of our remaining Democratic presidential candidates can openly embrace this historic moment in civil rights history, today is as good a day as any to reflect on the words and courage of another politician -- Spain's prime minister, Jose Zapatero. Hopefully, everyone is already familiar with it.

This is my favorite part of Zapatero's speech that Berlanti quoted:

"It is true that they are only a minority, but their triumph is everyone's triumph. It is also the triumph of those who oppose this law, even though they do not know this yet: because it is the triumph of Liberty. Their victory makes all of us (even those who oppose the law) better people, it makes our society better."

And Greg at Out in Hollywood is collecting quotes from other various sources as they appear.
