“No, I will not. How could I? I'm everything he opposes. I'm a woman, an immigrant and Middle-Eastern. Trump won't act in my best interests. So how could I consider him to be my president?

"Absolutely. There should be reparations for LGBTs, blacks — all people who were system-atically oppressed and denied their rights by the United States government. My heart goes out to them. They suffered needless indignity. Reparations are necessary."

"An end to all dress codes in the bars — within reason, of course. There should be no more bans on people in athletic outfits, or people wearing Timberland boots. That's unacceptable. As a Jewish man, I want to see more empathy for all groups of people."

"Billy Bush. I'd hold a microphone and have a plastic foot in my mouth. Billy Bush has forfeited his right to speak publicly on television. It was so reprehensible, what was said on that tape [with Donald Trump]."

"Personally, I'd like Trump off the public stage. He's an embarrass-ment to our political system. He's also embarrassing our country in front of the rest of the world. But for Hillary, it's a good thing that Trump is staying in the race. She'll easily defeat him."

"No, I don't care the show has been canceled. It was a commercial venture that wasn't successful. A reality-TV show wasn't the right way to go. A documentary would have been a more powerful way to encourage discourse on the subject [of trans issues]."

"Frida Kahlo. She was a bisexual Mexican painter. Her style was surrealism. She had a long-term affair with Geraldine Baker, the dancer. She was bad-ass. Her husband was a chronic cheater, and she slept with every woman he did!"

"What happened seems shifty and suspicious. But from everything I've heard, I'd still consider voting for him. But I'll continue to monitor the situation, so I can be an informed voter."

"I think it's a great way to make a statement because the spotlight is shining. The athletes are calling attention to what our country isn't doing well. I'm all for it."

"Sister Rosetta Tharpe. She was a pioneer in rock-and-roll guitar-playing, a real music legend. She was openly bisexual in the 1940s when doing that wasn't easy. She obviously took a lot of heat for it. I admire her tenacity and her fearlessness to be herself."
