We want to be entitled to not only the same privileges but the same responsibilities as straight people.

Altruism is for those who can't endure their desires. There's a world as ambiguous as a moan, a pleasure moan our earnest neighbors might think a crime. It's where we could live.

It resulted from esoteric speculations, for curiosity's sake, only motivated by a desire to understand nature.
