Quotes on homosexuality
Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?

Ernest Gaines Quotes
My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity. All those women out there praying for a man, and I'm giving them my share.

Rita Mae Brown Quotes
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 Quotes
My urges to write poetry are lesbian, but whatever compels me to prose is straight.

Agavé Powers Quotes
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 Quotes
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 Quotes
The white light streams down to be broken up by those human prisms into all the colors of the rainbow.

Charles R. Brown Quotes
Labels? Okay, fine. I'm bisensual. Heteroflexible. And life-curious. That about covers it.

Morgan Torva Quotes
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 Quotes
There's this illusion that homosexuals have sex and heterosexuals fall in love. That's completely untrue. Everybody wants to be loved.

Boy George Quotes
Bisexuality is a blessing and a curse, but viewing it as a schizophrenia will make you insane. If I try to live my life on only one side of the river, I'm torn asunder by thoughts of the opposite shore. Yes, being bisexual can rip one's soul apart. But if it's done right, with an open heart and honest life, I find my peace living in the river, quenched by the water which touches both sides, one drop indistinguishable and inseparable from the next. I am not a whole person with split desires: I am a whole person with desire. As everyone is, regardless.

Agavé Powers Quotes
As long as society is anti-gay, then it will seem like being gay is anti-social.

Joseph Francis Quotes
It always seemed to me a bit pointless to disapprove of homosexuality. It's like disapproving of rain.

Author Unknown Quotes
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 Quotes
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 Quotes
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.

Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes
If Michelangelo had been straight, the Sistine Chapel would have been wallpapered.

Robin Tyler Quotes
Homosexuality, like androgyny, might be an instinctive racial response to overpopulation, crowding, and stress. Both flourish when empire reaches its apogee.

Edward Abbey Quotes
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 Quotes
If gay and lesbian people are given civil rights, then everyone will want them!

Author Unknown Quotes
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.
Link to Quote
James Baldwin Quotes
To hear two American men congratulating each other on being heterosexual is one of the most chilling experiences - and unique to the United States. You don't hear two Italians sitting around complimenting each other because they actually like to go to bed with women. The American is hysterical about his manhood.

Gore Vidal Quotes
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 Quotes
If male homosexuals are called "gay," then female homosexuals should be called "ecstatic."

Shelly Roberts Quotes
I'd rather be black than gay because when you're black you don't have to tell your mother.

Charles Pierce Quotes
Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.

Woody Allen Quotes
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 Quotes
In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation.
Link to Quote
Simone de Beauvoir Quotes
If adjustment is necessary, it should be made primarily with regard to the position the homosexual occupies in present-day society, and society should more often be treated than the homosexual.

Harry Benjamin Quotes
Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.

Boethius Quotes
Some women can't say the word lesbian, even when their mouth is full of one.

Lesbianism has always seemed to me an extremely inventive response to a shortage of men, but otherwise not worth the trouble.

Nora Ephron Quotes
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.

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?"

I understand why lesbians and gay men get suspicious around bisexuals. Maybe they don't trust that the bisexuals will stick around when the going gets tough.
