Johnny Weir

Whether witty or wise, controversial or charming, shocking or silly, sweet or sassy, provocative or profound, inspiring or infuriating--or any combination of those--Johnny Weir, the three-time U.S. Champion, two-time Olympian, and World medalist figure skater, almost always says something worth quoting whenever he commentates a skating competition, makes a TV appearance, gives an interview, holds a press conference, writes, tweets, or is caught on video. His quotes needed to be collected and shared; hence this blog.

There are people who think a union between two men or two women is a sin. There are people who think [same-sex couples] should have equal rights as a married couple but not have the marriage in the church. There are people who want full rights for gay people. For me, everyone should be free to do whatever they want, whatever they believe in. If I can lend my name to a group or cause that’s fighting for that freedom, then I'm more than happy to do it.
