In 2011, if they asked, we told. We heard more gay and gay-supportive voices than ever before. There were fights, big and small. But there was also a whole lotta love. Here’s a selection of the most memorable things people had to say about being gay this year.

These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage? I don’t give a f*ck about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?!

Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.
