“Like sex, poverty and power, suicide may always be with us. But like them again, the actual form is takes is essentially time-specific and culture-bound, not only in the past but in the present too. The people who took their lives, the paths which led them to that end, and the experience of dying in this way were deeply influenced by specific historical circumstances. Only by making a greater effort at historical understanding can this most secret house of death be made to yield up more of its confidences.” PeopleWayMayMadeEndsPastFormCultureHouseSexUnderstandingEffortSecretPovertyPathGreaterDyingCircumstancesSuicideHistoricalBoundsYieldBritish History Author:David Cannadine
“If same-sex relationships are really sinful, then why do they so often produce good fruit-loving families, open homes, self-sacrifice, commitment, faithfulness, joy? And if conservative Christians are really right in their response to same-sex relationships, then why does that response often produce bad fruit-secrets, shame, depression, loneliness, broken families, and fear?” IfsDoeSelfHomeChristianJoySexSecretSacrificeLonelinessProduceBrokenCommitmentShameResponseFruitConservativeFaithfulnessSelf SacrificeLoving FamilySex RelationshipsBroken Family Author:Rachel Held Evans

“Sexuality is a part of our behavior. It's part of our world freedom. Sexuality is something that we ourselves create. It is our own creation, and much more than the discovery of a secret side of our desire. We have to understand that with our desires go new forms of relationships, new forms of love, new forms of creation. Sex is not a fatality; it's a possibility for creative life. It's not enough to affirm that we are gay but we must also create a gay life.” WorldEnoughFormDesireSexSidesSecretCreativeCreationPossibilityGayBehaviorDiscoverySexualityOur WorldHomosexualityCreative LifeFatalityForms Of LoveGay Life Author:Michel Foucault

“Sex divorced from love, instead of raising man by taking him away from himself, drags him down to the hall of mirrors where he is always confronted with self. Sex does not care about the person, but about the act. The fig leaf which once was put over the secret parts of man and woman in sculpture is now put over the face. The person does not matter.” MenPersonsDoeSelfMatterCareFacesSexSecretMen And WomenMirrorsHallsDragLeafsSculptureDivorcedFigs Author:Fulton J. Sheen
