"When you grow up with Lesbian mothers, you can't get your ears pierced to rebel. I became a Republican."

— Jesse Levey, a 29-year-old management consultant and Republican activist who believes in family values, small government, and the right of lesbians, like his mothers, to marry. He's part of the Gayby Boom [1] generation, the children of gay couples who were part of the modern gay rights movement, which is said to have started around 40 years ago.
