I am very sad for men and women trapped in any relationship where there is cruelty, dominance, inequity. I long for the liberation of all people.
There are brilliant out lesbians and gay men and bisexuals and transgendered people and heterosexuals keeping the fire of change alive. Not a day goes by when I don't feel grateful to them for their work.
I have often felt bad that I am not great at any one thing. Like just a super super singer. Or the Gregory Hines of something
Anything that is non-violent is OK with me.
Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.
The state and the church seldom approve of anything I do. I don't need their approval. I don't aspire to the heterosexual nuclear family model
We gave up having a TV last year. I am out of the loop. Life is way better than TV. I recommend it to anyone who has forgotten they have one.
We are a complex species to observe
I am going to sing lesbian love songs and support gay rights no matter what. The rest is public relations.
You tend to be afraid when someone seems foreign to you. But if you aren't careful, that can lead to bigotry.
I meet so many people, but I don't know anybody.
I spent years crying in my diary. But I finally stopped finding fault with myself. We're all different, yet the same.
An activist is one who is actively involved in creating community, whether that is locally in their neighborhood or internationally. It is an admirable quality.
Bigotry and judgment are the height of insecurity.
