Gay Quotes

At one campus where I was lecturing, I asked a friend, 'How many of my colleagues know I'm gay?' He answered, 'All of them.' I wasn't surprised.

If I had spoken about it myself, most of them would have felt it was in bad taste.

We've seen so many revolutions and wars. We need decades of calm and harmonious development.

For me, it wasn't that big a deal.

Increasingly as I get deeper into middle age, that is why I resist plunking for any one camp. Because I have this delicious sort of experience of being able to see things in two ways.
