Associate EditorTuesday Feb 9, 2010 "I think it’s up to us to save marriage. ...Up to gay people across the country, seeing as though we’re fighting for it so vehemently." - Out actress Portia de Rossi opens up to the Advocate.
"If we can’t get Scott [Brown] to come back, the only other U.S. Senator we want is Evan Bayh." - Cosmopolitan editor Kate White on her second choice for nude centerfold (Brown appeared naked in the magazine in June 1982.)
