“To those who say that they are Christian and gay, what we must keep in mind is that absent in that kind of lifestyle is a call to holiness, a call to celibacy and integrity. Obviously, it is a capitulation toward one's desires and the sexual sins that the Bible so strongly condemns.” MindKindChristianDesireSinIntegrityGayLifestyleHolinessAbsentCelibacyCapitulation Author:Erwin W.

“I don't think there is a 'gay lifestyle.' I think that's superficial crap, all that talk about gay culture.

“Once I appealed to distinguish words "gay" and "homosexual"... "Gayship" is a political homosexualism, a sort of left-wing ideology based on a bias against traditional lifestyle...

“There is a tendency under capitalism system to reduce everything to a kind of commodity fetish, and this order tends to promote extremely conventional and uniform expressions of gender and sexuality in order to promote certain products and lifestyle choices that are commercialized. This necessarily entails a capitulation to heteronormativity, or in the case of the new gay movement, a "homonormativity" that doesn't stray far from the heterosexual paradigm. Anyone who questions these normative values and conventions is subject to disapproval, hostility, or even violence.” KindCertainValuesOrderChoicesCasesViolenceSubjectsMovementExpressionProductsGayCapitalismGenderSexualityLifestyleTendenciesConventionsConventionalUniformsCommodityHostilityParadigmFetishDisapprovalCapitulationLifestyle ChoicesGender And Sexuality Author:Bruce LaBruce

“Shopping as lifestyle is really a sub-cultural problem. When the strictures that set you apart or oppressed you, disappear, is there a way, legitimately, to maintain your sense of specialness and difference? And how do you express that? Does it just become a kind of kitsch? You can say this of gay people, but it's true for Jewish people, Italian Americans, everyone who deals with it. It's a question of assimilation.

“Historically different groups find different things in each comics, as with *X-Men*. Gay readers find parallels to living a closeted lifestyle or choosing to come out and be openly gay.

It's a simple enough, and direct enough metaphor that it has different shades for different people. And so each reader to some degree gets out of it what they bring to it.
