My sexuality is a part of me that I really like. But it's not the totality of me.

Average. It was the worst, most disgusting word in the English language. Nothing meaningful or worthwhile ever came from that word.

Even if I'm hormonal and I feel like I've got a couple pounds of water weight, I will never starve myself, I will never, ever go on a diet.

Every animal has its own intelligence and sensitivities. They're all lovely, worthwhile, and deserving of our respect.

Shame weighs a lot more than flesh and bone.

I knew that I was gay, I knew it. I just couldn't see myself as a gay woman, even though that's where my heart was.

I had a hell of a time convincing people I was gay - which was so annoying!
