"Gays didn't need to ask if they were gay. God told them. And if God told them, that's all you need to know, 'cause He's God and He wouldn't have made people gay unless He thought it was right.

Maybe your God will have some thoughts someday."

(And if you're interested, here's an interview I did with Lewis Black when the book hit shelves in November.)
