I'm all for guys being butch and guys being men. I identify with that and appreciate that. But if I'm going to stab my gay brother in the back who isn't butch and who maybe acts a little bit more effeminate, what good is that?

I just don't know that shame and fear need to be our teachers; rather, compassion, understanding, and love should be our guides.

Call me old-fashioned, but I like my conditioners to be conditioners and my shampoos to be shampoos.

Our sexual lives are maintained by the shadow side and the light side, so the more we can understand and embrace enlightenment, the less need there is for chemical enhancement.

I like a woman with priorities.

I enjoy my relationship with straight men. It's very nurturing. It's very validating to hang out with straight guys and be accepted. So many of us, we were not accepted when we were younger by straight persons in high school.

I don't ever apologize for who I am because then I let someone else decide who I am.
