Alan K. Simpson : (3)

" The AARP is a group of 3.8 million Americans bound together by a common love of airline discounts and insurance discounts. " - Alan K. Simpson

" Since 1993, I have had the rich satisfaction of knowing and working with many openly gay and lesbian Americans, and I have come to realize that ‘gay’ is an artificial category when it comes to measuring a man or woman’s on-the-job performance or commitment to shared goals. It says little about the person. " - Alan K. Simpson

" As a lifelong Republican who served in the Army in Germany, I believe it is critical that we review – and overturn – the ban on gay service in the military. I voted for ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’ But much has changed since 1993. My thinking shifted when I read that the military was firing translators because they are gay. " - Alan K. Simpson
