"And yet it is perhaps in the nature of friendship, as opposed to love, that we can think of it as a constancy that requires no nurturing, and from which we can withdraw when we choose, certain that, like the affection of our mothers, it will be there to welcome us back whenever we return. Alas, this is not how it is with friendship...."
- David Leavitt, Martin Bauman
"People don't do right because of the fear of God or love of him. You do the right thing because the world doesn't make sense if you don't."
— Dorothy Allison, Bastard Out of Carolina
“one homosexual can pollute a government office” —U.S. Senate subcommittee report, 1950
