Queer Quotes
"When Ellen first 'came out' she made the statement that she did not want to be political. Less than one year later, she is a leading political warrior in our battle against prejudice. We have said for decades that the mere act of 'coming out' was one of the most important personal and political statements you can make. It does change your life."
Lesbian comic and event producer Robin Tyler.
"My first objection to the Quilt is simply this: placing the epidemic within the context of this mythically pure colonial history is part of the way we sanitise the victims of Aids, enshrining them within this cluttered museum of tacky folklore so resonant with wholesome patriotic feelings and nostalgia for a simpler agrarian America."
Daniel Harris, author of The Rise and Fall of Gay Culture, in an interview taped by Visual Aids for World Without Art Day, Dec. 1.
"I freakin' can't understand people spending so much time trying to out me."
Actress Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) to Los Angeles' Lesbian News, November issue.
"Is anybody besides me really sick of activist/author/playwright/relentless self-promoter Larry Kramer? Kramer accomplished - nay, he 'assisted with' - one thing a long time ago, and he has milked it mightily ever since in his quest to be portrayed as the last angry faggot. Kramer and a few others met long ago and planted the seeds for New York founding of the amorphous confederation of groups known as ACT UP. Kramer didn't do this on his own, and there are a host of other persons vastly more creditable with the remarkable advances and P.R. victories that can be laid at ACT UP's door."
Jeff Epperly, editor of Boston's Bay Windows.
"We usually define gender issues only on the basis of male and femail, but in reality there are more than two genders. Though physically masculine, many men behave and feel like women."
Chulalongkorn Lecturer Dr Vichai Poshyachinda to the Bangkok Post.
