I'm a married gay man, so you might think that I appreciate the government forcing a Christian baker or photographer or florist to act against their religion in order to cater, photograph, or decorate my wedding. But you'd be wrong. A government that can force Christians to violate their conscience can force me to violate mine.
I spent too many years of my life stressing over and struggling with my sexuality. But it was a valuable lesson. I realised that by not sharing how you feel, you become inhibited in every facet of life.
Speaking out, sharing what you think, and expressing yourself - regardless of sexuality or anything else - is the most important thing you can do as a man, as a human.
It's not always about winning. If you can, really, just show people - If they're being awful, be less awful.
I'm so in favor of gay marriage that I even married a guy.
Think about your friends on the Left - are they tolerant of people who aren't for gay marriage? Or of people who are pro-life? These used to be just political differences, and now they are a referendum on what type of person you are and whether you can be in someone's life at all.
I think virtually everyone wants to do good and be good and be decent to each other and pursue something that is valuable to them and meaningful.
I think we're innately good. But it doesn't mean we're gonna do good all the time. It means you have to strive.
I firmly believe in individual liberty more than anything else. And that you have to live the life you want for yourself.
I think for me, as a gay person, I can convince a lot more people to be for gay marriage by not screaming at them and berating them and embarrassing them and belittling them, but by showing them that we're all exactly the same.
I'm not even proud to say this, but I've never voted for a Republican in my entire life.
I was closeted into my mid-twenties and even into my late twenties. It screwed up my relationships; it screwed up things with my family that I've since repaired.
The thing is, Twitter made me - from silly posts about 'Star Wars,' I got fans.
What we need more than anything else is an informed populace. I believe people want to be informed.
My policy with interviewing is I'm not there to teach the people I'm across from a lesson.
The whole point of real comedy is that you can say something that is true, and by being funny, you can make it tolerable for people, and hopefully they'll laugh at you, too.
I don't do anything in my life as far as I know, or at least consciously, that's based in religion.
