Christopher Hitchens  - Quotes

 As the many male victims of rape in the regime's disgusting jails can testify, this state-run pathology of sexual repression and sexual sadism is not content to degrade women only.

David Gerrold  - Quotes

 Something went klunk. Like a nickel dropping in a soda machine. One of those small insights that explains everything. This was puberty for these boys. Adolescence. The first date, the first kiss, the first chance to hold hands with someone special. Delayed, postponed, a decade's worth of longing--while everybody around you celebrates life, you pretend, suppress, inhibit, deprive yourself of you own joy--but finally ultimately, eventually, you find a place where you can have a taste of everything denied.

Glenway Wescott  - Quotes

 But let us laugh carelessly like other men.

Let us be timid even among fools.

Let us knot silence around our throats.

For they would surely kill us.

 I have always been homosexual and it surprises me that more people are not; women's pink bits are moist and forbidding and I enjoy those qualities much more in a Victoria sponge.

Robert A. Heinlein  - Quotes

 Jill... had explained homosexuality, after Mike had read about it and failed to grok--and had given him rules for avoiding passes; she knew that Mike, pretty as he was, would attract such. He had followed her advice and had made his face more masculine, instead of the androgynous beauty he had had. But Jill was not sure that Mike would refuse a pass, say, from Duke--fortunately Mike's male water brothers were decidedly masculine, just as his others were very female women. Jill suspected that Mike would grok a 'wrongness' in the poor in-betweeners anyhow--they would never be offered water.

The Celluloid Closet  - Quotes

 Richard Dyer:
Most expressions of homosexuality in most of movies are indirect. And what's interesting about that is of course that is what it was like to express homosexuality in life, that we could only express ourselves indirectly, just as people on the screen could only express themselves indirectly. And the sense in which the characters are in the closet, the movie is in the closet and we are in the closet.

Al Franken  - Quotes

 Does the mainstream media have a liberal bias? On a couple of things, maybe. Compared to the American public at large, probably a slightly higher percentage of journalists, because of thier enhanced power of discernment, realize they know a gay person or two, and are, therefore, less frightened of them.

Derek Jarman  - Quotes

 Understand that sexuality is as wide as the sea. Understand that your morality is not law. Understand that we are you. Understand that if we decide to have sex whether safe, safer, or unsafe, it is our decision and you have no rights in our lovemaking.

Lynn Lavner  - Quotes

 There are 6 admonishments in the Bible concerning homosexual activity and our enemies are always throwing them up to us usually in a vicious way and very much out of context. What they don't want us to remember is that there are 362 admonishments in the Bible concerning heterosexual activity. I don't mean to imply by this that God doesn't love straight people, only that they seem to require a great deal more supervision.

 I hated that the soldier doll had my name. I mean, please. I didn't play with him much. He was another Christmas present from my clueless grandparents. One time when they were visiting, my grandpa asked me if G.I. Joe had been in any wars lately. I said,

 [Referring to the imprisonment of Oscar Wilde] ... Will civilization never reach humane ideals? Will men always punish most severely the sins they do not understand and which hold forth for them no temptation? Did Jesus suffer in vain?

Cristina Marrero  - Quotes

 See, the institutions and specialist, experts, you see. Yes, yes,

experts, indeed. See, they would have us believe that there is an order

to art. An explanation. Humans are odd creatures in that way. Always

searching for a formula. Yes, a formula to create an expected norm for

unexplainable greatness. A cook book you might say. Yes, a recipe

book for life, love, and art. However, my dear, let me tell you. Yes,

there is no such thing. Every individual is unique in their own design,

as intended by God himself. We classify, yes, always must we classify,

for if not, then we would be lost, yes lost now wouldn't we?

Classification, order, expectations, but alas, we forget. For what is art,

if not the out word expression of an artist. It is the soul of the artisan

and if his expectations are met, than who are we to judge whether his

work be art or not?
