with children. ~Sam Austin

Southern Baptist Convention is protesting? ~The Value of Families
If time and space are curved, where do all of the straight people come
from? ~Author Unknown
Everybody’s journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in
love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says
more about them than it does about homosexuality. ~James Baldwin
What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart,
oh, no, it’s curved like a road through mountains. ~Tennessee Williams, A
Streetcar Named Desire, 1947
There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex.
People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats.
~Elton John
I’d rather be black than gay because when you’re black you don’t have to
tell your mother. ~Charles Pierce, 1980
That word "lesbian" sounds like a disease. And straight men know because
they’re sure that they’re the cure. ~Denise McCanles
If gays are granted rights, next we’ll have to give rights to prostitutes and
to people who sleep with St. Bernards and to nailbiters. ~Anita Bryant
My own belief is that there is hardly anyone whose sexual life, if it were
broadcast, would not fill the world at large with surprise and horror. ~W.
Somerset Maugham
Did you hear about the Scottish drag queen? He wore pants. ~Lynn Lavner
I’m a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter either. From the
time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay
community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being… by
the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people,
what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is
irrelevant. ~Paul Newman
From various bumper stickers: My sexual orientation? Horizontal, usually.
~ I can’t even think straight. ~ Let’s get one thing straight, I’m not. ~
Straight But Not Narrow ~ Closets are for clothes. ~ I’m not a lesbian but
my girlfriend is. ~ I’m not gay but my boyfriend is. ~ Equal rights are not
special rights. ~ Homophobia is a social disease.
For a long time I thought I wanted to be a nun. Then I realized that what I
really wanted to be was a lesbian. ~Mabel Maney
What’s the point of being a lesbian if a woman is going to look and act like
an imitation man? ~Rita Mae Brown
The degree and kind of a man’s sexuality reach up into the ultimate pinnacle
of his spirit. ~Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, 1886
Why can’t they have gay people in the army? Personally, I think they are
just afraid of a thousand guys with M16s going, "Who’d you call a faggot?"
~John Stewart
If male homosexuals are called "gay," then female homosexuals should be
called "ecstatic." ~Shelly Roberts
Some women can’t say the word lesbian… even when their mouth is full of
one. ~Kate Clinton
The one bonus of not lifting the ban on gays in the military is that the next
time the government mandates a draft we can all declare homosexuality
instead of running off to Canada. ~Lorne Bloch
Soldiers who are not afraid of guns, bombs, capture, torture or death say
they are afraid of homosexuals. Clearly we should not be used as soldiers;
we should be used as weapons. ~Letter to the editor,The Advocate
No matter how far in or out of the closet you are, you still have a next step.
~Author Unknown
People who can’t think of anything else but whether the person you love is
indented or convex should be doomed not to think of anything else but that,
and so miss the other ninety-five percent of life. ~Robert Towne
You are digging for the answers until your fingers bleed, to satisfy the
hunger, to satiate the need…. And as you pray in your darkness for wings to
set you free, you are bound to your silent legacy. ~Melissa Etheridge,
"Silent Legacy," Yes I Am, 1993
Straight Americans need… an education of the heart and soul. They must
understand – to begin with – how it can feel to spend years denying your
own deepest truths, to sit silently through classes, meals, and church
services while people you love toss off remarks that brutalize your soul.
~Bruce Bawer, The Advocate, 28 April 1998
What are you trying to protect heterosexual marriages from? There isn’t a
limited amount of love in Iowa. It isn’t a non-renewable resource. If Amy
and Barbara or Mike and Steve love each other, it doesn’t mean that John
and Mary can’t. ~Ed Fallon
People sometimes think I’m gay because I once played a gay in a movie.
It’s funny. Audiences don’t think you’re a murderer if you play a murderer,
but they do think you’re gay if you play a gay. ~Perry King
It’s hard enough to be taken seriously in the struggle for gay rights without
having a bunch of straight girls running around kissing each other to get the
attention of boys and videocameras. ~M. Robin D’Antan, 2002
Let my lusts be my ruin, then, since all else is a fake and a mockery. ~Hart
Crane
I get sick of listening to straight people complain about, "Well, hey, we
don’t have a heterosexual-pride day, why do you need a gay-pride day?" I
remember when I was a kid I’d always ask my mom: "Why don’t we have a
Kid’s Day? We have a Mother’s Day and a Father’s Day, but why don’t we
have a Kid’s Day?" My mom would always say, "Every day is Kid’s Day." To
all those heterosexuals that bitch about gay pride, I say the same thing:
Every day is heterosexual-pride day! Can’t you people enjoy your banquet
and not piss on those of us enjoying our crumbs over here in the corner?
~Rob Nash
Wouldn’t it be great if you could only get AIDS from giving money to
television preachers? ~Elayne Boosler
Trust a nitwit society like this one to think that there are only two
categories – fag and straight. ~Gore Vidal
The world is not divided into sheeps and goats. Not all things are black nor
all things white. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals
with discrete categories. Only the human mind invents categories and tries
to force facts into separated pigeon-holes. The living world is a continuum
in each and every one of its aspects. The sooner we learn this concerning
sexual behavior the sooner we shall reach a sound understanding of the
realities of sex. ~Alfred Kinsey, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, 1948
Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.
~Martina Navratilova
The important thing is not the object of love, but the emotion itself. ~Gore
Vidal
Pronouns make it hard to keep our sexual orientation a secret when our co-
workers ask us about our weekend. "I had a great time with… them."
Great! Now they don’t think you’re queer – just a big slut! ~Judy Carter
I can’t help looking gay. I put on a dress and people say, "Who’s the dyke
in the dress?" ~Karen Ripley
The geography of my heart has hills of desire and valleys and meadows of
love – for both men and women – a single day’s trek passes through it all.
~Agavé Powers
It’s a public service when a gay chick goes lipstick instead of lumberjack.
~Two and a Half Men, "Alan Harper, Frontier Chiropractor," teleplay by Lee
Aronsohn and Mark Roberts, original airdate 15 December 2003, spoken by
the character Charlie Harper
As long as society is anti-gay, then it will seem like being gay is anti-social.
~Joseph Francis
We love men. We just don’t want to see them naked. ~Two Nice Girls
The next time someone asks you, "Hey, howdja get to be a homosexual
anyway?" tell them, "Homosexuals are chosen first on talent, then
interview… then the swimsuit and evening gown competition pretty much
gets rid of the rest of them." ~Karen Williams
If Michelangelo had been straight, the Sistine Chapel would have been
wallpapered. ~Robin Tyler
If you removed all of the homosexuals and homosexual influence from what
is generally regarded as American culture, you would pretty much be left
with "Let’s Make a Deal." ~Fran Lebowitz
Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a
rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a
girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found
a lady. What you have probably found is a Lesbian. ~Fran Lebowitz
About a year ago I was a guest on a network news show in New York. They
were showing film clips from a gay pride parade down Fifth Avenue, but
they only decided to show the part with men in dresses and heels. I had
seen the parade, and there were men in business suits as well. After
showing the film, the newsperson made some comments, and I found the
comments extremely offensive. "This is what’s wrong with the media," I
said. "You show a fringe position. You show one point of view. You’re
closing the minds of the people by not showing them what the reality is." I
got up and walked out, and I’ve never been asked back again. ~Kathleen
Nolan
Quiz: How many biblical prohibitions are they violating? Well, wives are
supposed to be ‘submissive’ to their husbands (I Peter 3:1). And all women
are forbidden to teach men (I Timothy 2:12), wear gold or pearls (I Timothy
2:9) or dress in clothing that ‘pertains to a man’ (Deuteronomy 22:5).
Shellfish and pork are definitely out (Leviticus 11:7, 10) as are usury
(Deuteronomy 23:19), shaving (Leviticus 19:27) and clothes of more than
one fabric (Leviticus 19:19). And since the Bible rarely recognizes divorce,
they’re committing adultery, which carries the rather harsh penalty of death
by stoning (Deuteronomy 22:22).
So why are they having such a good time? Probably because they
wouldn’t think of worrying about rules that seem absurd, anachronistic or –
at best – unrealistic. Yet this same modern-day couple could easily be
among the millions of Americans who never hesitate to lean on the Bible to
justify their own anti-gay attitudes. ~Deb Price, And Say Hi To Joyce
Mothers, tell your children: be quick, you must be strong. Life is full of
wonder, love is never wrong. Remember how they taught you, how much of
it was fear. Refuse to hand it down – the legacy stops here. ~Melissa
Etheridge, "Silent Legacy," Yes I Am, 1993
There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more
painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~Anaïs Nin
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another. ~William
Shakespeare
Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his
heart and speaks another. ~Homer
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the
truth. ~Benjamin Disraeli
Every time you don’t follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy,
loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness. ~Shakti Gawain
If you are ashamed to stand by your colors, you had better seek another
flag. ~Author Unknown
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t
matter and those who matter don’t mind. ~Dr. Seuss
Men weary as much of not doing the things they want to do as of doing the
things they do not want to do. ~Eric Hoffer
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves. ~Friedrich
Nietzsche
The white light streams down to be broken up by those human prisms into
all the colors of the rainbow. Take your own color in the pattern and be just
that. ~Charles R. Brown
Resolve to be thyself; and know that he who finds himself, loses his misery.
~Matthew Arnold, "Self-Dependence," Empedocles on Etna, and Other
Poems, 1852
It’s a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy. ~Lucille
Ball
For most men life is a search for the proper manila envelope in which to get
themselves filed. ~Clifton Fadiman
You’ll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart. ~George
Michael, "Kissing A Fool"
To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying "Amen" to what the
world tells you you ought to prefer, is to keep your soul alive. ~Robert
Louis Stevenson
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path
and leave a trail. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed
by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning
yourself. ~Friedrich Nietzsche
My theory is that the hardest work anyone does in life is to appear normal.
~From the movie Ed TV
