“sex has never been private and it never will be. We perform the act in private but we must be public about the connection. Sex is how we pass down worldly goods. It's how we create the primary unit of our society, the couple. ... This rule applies to gay people as well as straight people. ... The community absolutely must know who is straight, who is gay, who is married, and who is single. Without that information we make painful mistakes and lose time.” PeopleKnowsWellsSexCommunityLosesMistakeInformationCoupleGayMarriedConnectionsPainfulSexualityPrimariesOur SocietyGoodsUnitsWorldlyGay People Author:Rita Mae Brown
“It's important to stress what I didn't find. I did not prove that homosexuality is genetic, or find a genetic cause for being gay.

Nor did I locate a gay center in the brain.” PeopleMenWayImportantShowsCausesBornCommonMistakeBrainGayProveStressHomosexualityGay MenBeing GayInterpreting Author:Simon LeVay
“I have frequently detected myself in such kind of mistakes... in a total misapprehension of character at some point or other: fancying people so much more gay or grave, or ingenious or stupid than they really are, and I can hardly tell why, or in what the deception originated. Sometimes one is guided by what other people say of them, without giving oneself time to deliberate and judge.” PeopleGivingKindI CanSometimesCharacterMistakeStupidJudgingGayOneselfGravesDeceptionDeliberateIngenious Book:Sense and Sensibility: Ignatius Critical Editions Source: Sense and Sensibility: Ignatius Critical Editions
