“I remember writing 'The One I Can't Have' at the kitchen table. I was looking at a picture of Truman Capote with Marilyn Monroe and that's where I started. It doesn't make any sense because he was gay, but it was just the idea of the short guy and the beautiful blonde out of his league. That's where I started, but very quickly it became about me.” WritingI CanIdeasBeautifulRememberGuyGayTablesLeagueKitchenBlondeTrumanKitchen Table Author:Teddy Thompson
“It is never appropriate to comment on a woman's breasts. I would never do it on the street or at a supermarket, but when I'm sitting a table signing books, sometimes I notice that a woman will have remarkable breasts. And I will maybe quietly say something about it. It's not in a sexual way, because I'm a gay man - I would never say to a man "great ass" because that would be sort of creepy.. I hope it's not creepy to quietly tell a woman she has nice breasts.” MenWayBookSometimesWould BeNiceStreetsGaySittingTablesAssBreastsAppropriateRemarkableCommentCreepySigningSupermarketsGay Men Author:David Sedaris

“When women got the vote, they did not redefine voting. When African-Americans got the right to sit at a lunch counter alongside white people, they did not redefine eating out. They were simply invited to the table. That is all we want to do; we have no desire to change marriage. We want to be entitled to not only the same privileges but the same responsibilities as straight people.” PeopleWantDesireWhiteResponsibilityGayEatingVoteTablesPrivilegeAfrican AmericanVotingLunchEntitledInvitedGay MarriageDesire To ChangeEating Out Author:Cynthia Nixon
“Let me speak frankly: separate but equal is a fraud. It is the language that tried to push Rosa Parks to the back of the bus. It is the motif that determined that black and white people could not possibly drink from the same water fountain, eat at the same table or use the same toilets.” PeopleUseSpeakLanguageBlackWaterWhiteDrinkGayEqualLet MeTablesDeterminedParksBusFraudBlack And WhiteFountainToiletsGay MarriageRosaMotifsWater FountainSeparate But Equal Author:David Lammy
