"Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?"

"If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: 'Hello. Can't work today, still queer.'"

-- Robin Tyler

I personally love that last one! If I weren't the boss, I'd try it. "Erin, yeah, I'm sorry to call you on such short notice tonight, but I'm just feeling really queer... yeah, so I won't be in tonight."

" They asked me the other day my definition of a perfect lover. And I had it for them too. A man who can make love to you until four o'clock in the morning-and then turn into a pizza."

Charles Pierce, female impersonator

Not sure this is exactly a gay quote, but it was said by a gay man and I am trying to take this quote seriously in dealing with certain others, politically as well as socially. Of course, don't think for a moment that "Love" means let them walk on you. It's all about attitude and I refuse to take a defensive stand, better to let them be on the defense as I look so concerned about their mental and spiritual well being.

"Always love your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
