Quote I Love: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations

Quote

An author’s response to a reader who said they didn’t like his story line about two female lovers.

“If he thinks the fear of alienating a few closed-minded readers is going to stop me from writing stories that feature and promote characters of diverse backgrounds—including LGBTQ characters, persons of color, and people who belong to ideological or philosophical minorities—he must be out of his mind. I’m a fucking Star Trek writer. Hasn’t he ever heard of IDIC—’Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations’?”

David Mack, a Star Trek writer in Defense of Diversity

Quote I Love: It was meant for you

From a gay dad’s blog post response to Kathryn Skaggs, a grandmother and California pro-proposition 8 activist who thought the movie Frozen was targeting children with a “gay agenda.”

“Yes, Ms. Skaggs. The movie had a hidden message. It had a message of love, and hope. It had the desire to melt the closed heart and inspire it to let go, and love other people. It wants the target of its message to warm from within and to accept others as they are, and give them the freedom to live their best and fullest lives. What you got wrong is this: that message was not targeted at your grand kids. It was meant for you.” –robw77
