We have been made invisible because the word might get out that women can love each other and the word might get out that men can love each other.
David Gillon
I thought I was just one of those people who could never love anybody. When I fell in love with Henry...it meant I was human.
Elsa Gidlow
If there was a problem connected with my being a lesbian ...it was the loneliness, the fact that I didn't know anybody like me.
Dennis Chiu
You go through a lot of hurt when someone calls you a Chinaman, so that in one sense you are more able to deal with someone calling you a fag.
Whitey Fladden
So I asked what was a lesbian, and everybody laughed. 'That's a girl who likes other girls instead of boys,' and I thought 'uh-oh, that sounds like me.'
Donald Hackett
I decided that this is what I had to do because in fighting it, you're just going against yourself. It's a headbuster.
John Burnside
...we found to our immense surprise and joy that we had never known ecstasies and passions as equivalent to the depth that they now had for us.
Michael Mintz
The Princeton Gay Alliance was the only place that I could go to find support, short of going into the closet, locking the door and playing straight.
Rick Stokes
To think about going through four years of service and having his picture set out on my footlocker, where other kids had their girl's picture...
Tede Mathews
We're all born naked and anything anybody wears at any time is drag.
Ann Samsell
I could not make a conscious thing of it until I met a lesbian and talked to her about my feelings. Then I realized who I was. It didn't take long.
Roger Harkenrider
I feel a responsibility to the other weird people of the world to be a representative, intelligent weird person.
Freddy Gray
I don't regret I was married. It was a really happy seven years. Being a father or a mother is an experience that most gay people don't have.
Pam Jackson
If you'd asked me eight years ago if I was going to be queer, live with another woman and give up my children, I would have said 'you're a lousy liar.'
Cynthia Gair
My whole vision of being a lesbian was of a gutter kind of depressing life. I don't know where I got that; it must have just seeped into my head.
Nick Dorsky
Pretty soon all the girls were French-kissing on the couch and all the boys were dancing to slow Rock and Roll. I loved it!
George Mendenhall
So with twenty dollars in my pocket, I took a Greyhound bus to San Francisco, ran into a police officer and asked 'Where's a gay bar?'
Nadine Armijo
You love each other. You care. You do little things for each other. And you always want to be together.
Linda Marco
I was the American dream daughter— cheerleader, Prom queen, straight A student... I was miserable.
Betty Powell
The reality was you love another woman and the world calls that 'lesbian' and the world doesn't like lesbians.
Mark Pinney
In terms of coverage, who wants to see Mr. Middle of the Road, but nevertheless we are there, and we're damn important.
Pat Bond
There were court-martial trials, and your friends were testifying against you, that yes, they had seen you necking with a woman.
