What worse illness can there be than acute conventionality. You should pray every night that you don't wake up with it.

My dearest friend in the movement is Jack Nichols. If there were no such thing as gay or straight, we would still talk and share experiences till the end of time.

We're all here at the same time and we should celebrate that.

We have many cases of men committing suicide rather than face their own individuality. I know of no case of a woman who committed suicide because she was gay.

As I said, men value their independence in a weird way, above practically everything.

Men are actually the weaker sex.

It wouldn't have mattered to my mother if I married a black, was gay, lived in a commune or wore a dress.
