People will go into a relationship, if it's a brand new relationship, it's so exciting because it's something brand new, it's variety, it's different. And you're so excited by the feelings.

It's a delicate balance.

Repression is good for cultural achievement. Let's face it. What are gay boys going to be like?

That's what we've accomplished. Without some kind of traction.
