Sexuality is a private matter; some believe that broadcasting it destroys the very things that make it sacred.

My gayness became quietly accepted and, shock of all shocks, life went on.

As anyone who is gay will confirm, being that way is not something you become, it is a set of emotional and physical responses that just are.

One result of An American Family was that I became a gay role model.

David Bowie and Boy George created a safely contained theatrical expression of gay style.

My reasons for declaring a sexual preference had to do less with the pursuit of personal freedom than with the lust for pure shock value.

Coming out involves varying degrees of difficulty that are affected by class, race, religion, and geography.
