Arthur C. Clarke Quotes
'I am the King.' Ah, but which king?

To some of these boys, who are from really red states and have families with military history, to be called gay is the worst thing imaginable, and that's used against them.

But it's a problem because of where these people are from. That's really fascinating to me.
