If we start preemptively cutting out parts of who we are because they’re ‘not feminist enough’, then we’ve failed before we’ve begun.

C. N. Lester

To her, not packing our lunches every day or joining the PTA is a feminist rallying cry.

Christina Lauren

People are complicated. And messy. Seems too convenient that we’d all fit inside some multiple-choice question.

Riley Cavanaugh

I was an utterance in absentia. I was a forgotten word, uttered and mislaid long ago. I was the word that existed because there was another word that was my opposite, and without it I was nothing. I gained meaning only by acknowledging that possible other.Nida

Faiqa Mansab

It is not often that I have two options to choose from. It is nice to be compelled towards something, otherwise one drifts through life unimpeded.Bhanggi

See, the institutions and specialist, experts, you see. Yes, yes,experts, indeed. See, they would have us believe that there is an orderto art. An explanation. Humans are odd creatures in that way. Alwayssearching for a formula. Yes, a formula to create an expected norm forunexplainable greatness. A cook book you might say. Yes, a recipebook for life, love, and art. However, my dear, let me tell you. Yes,there is no such thing. Every individual is unique in their own design,as intended by God himself. We classify, yes, always must we classify,for if not, then we would be lost, yes lost now wouldn't we?Classification, order, expectations, but alas, we forget. For what is art,if not the out word expression of an artist. It is the soul of the artisanand if his expectations are met, than who are we to judge whether hiswork be art or not?

Cristina Marrero

From the standpoint of integrity, I think we all need to own up to our dirty little secrets. I believe that when we are open about our own strange desires or unusual lives, it paves the way for others to do the same. In the past thirty years, gay men and lesbians took a lot of flack to tell the truth about their love lives and their courage opened the door for a mass migration out of the closet. We’re now at a moment in time when unconventional families (even thirty-year triads and gay couples) are losing their children in custody battles because their families don’t conform to mainstream ideas about what a family should be. Given this context, I want to be someone who stands up for my choices even if they’re unpopular, even if I get snickers at cocktail parties.

Victoria Vantoch

People who concern themselves with the rights of other adults who engage in consensual acts involving sex, love, and/or eating croissants together are damaged and in pain.

Rob Delaney

When these flies were put together in all-male groups they formed long, moving chains resembling conga lines, with each male attempting (unsuccessfully) to mate with the male in front of it.

Simon LeVay

You misquote me. It's NOT "Aah." It's "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Jock Camp

The value of a sex manual does not lie in its length or duration, but whether or not the problem it addresses works.

Jock Camp

Don't try to be brave all at once. Take it in steps.

C. Kennedy

I had zero idea of what I was doing.. I honestly had no idea where to start. All I knew was I had something I craved to say.. I wanted to create art that lived on longer than I do. Perseverance and teaching yourself, every day through stress and hard work proves shit really does progress without you realizing. One minute you're an amateur, knowing nothing, not even the basics. The next you can put pen to paper, write a song, and create art in such little time! It's crazy beautiful.

scott mcgoldrick

Those with unearned privileges often spin things as 'political correctness' to further silence those they wish to oppress.

DaShanne Stokes

The disaster, as Dad and others saw it, was the emerging AIDS crisis and the cultural attacks instigated by conservative against gay men and women in the early 1980s. It was found in the cruel indifference of President Ronald Reagan, who wouldn’t publicly address the epidemic until the end of his second term, after twenty thousand Americans had died, and the hostile rhetoric of conservatives close to Reagan like Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority, and Pat Buchanan, Reagan’s future speechwriter. In 1983, Buchanan wrote of AIDS, “The poor homosexuals–they have declared war upon nature, and now nature is extracting an awful retribution.

Alysia Abbott

The truth is, I have gay dads and I’m not damaged. I grew up with an incredible and loving family that always provided for me when I was younger and has continued to guide and support me as I’ve grown older.

Natalie Perry

I asked my dad, “If we were going to have two dads, should we call you Dad Number One and Dad Number Two?

Natalie Perry

It’s worth noting my family doesn’t use the word step regarding anyone who’s married into our family. Jerry isn’t, nor has he ever been, my step-dad. His mom isn’t my step grandma: neither are my aunts, uncles, or cousins. While there was never a discussion regarding how we categorize or title our family, we all just understood that for us, we are all simply family.

Natalie Perry

Ultimately, the one thing that makes a family is love.

Natalie Perry

For those of us who are told our families are wrong, we can question more strongly what we believe is right.

Natalie Perry

What I don’t understand is how some people say they can recognize the necessity to provide people with equal treatment under the law but they say it only applies in certain situations. People still use their religion and morality as an excuse to deny services to those perceived as other.

Natalie Perry

We can’t say it’s justifiable to deny some people their rights because we personally find something offensive. People have the right to their beliefs and they have the right to think that homosexuality is wrong, but they don’t have the right to use their religion and their beliefs to deny the rights of others.

Natalie Perry

Our family had waited so long for this moment and had spent so many years being told we were undeserving of this basic right. But for me there was a sense of validation because after eighteen years, I was finally able to stand with my two dads when they legally wed.

Natalie Perry

People have the right to their opinions. But I also have the right to my family. No one in our country should be put in the situation where they grow up in fear because our society has decided some people are valued less than others.

Natalie Perry

My last thought before falling asleep last night was a realisation that I was falling in love with Andrew. Well, not me exactly. My stupid, traitorous heart.

N.R. Walker

I think he won a tiny piece of my heart that day. If he didn't have the whole damn thing before then, he certainly had part of it now.

N.R. Walker

I kissed him softly and left my lips pressed to his for a few beats of my heart.

N.R. Walker

When I opened the door, Andrew was standing there like a remedy for heart palpitations. Or maybe he made them worse. It was hard to tell.

N.R. Walker

And without my consent, with my defences in ruins, while my brain was sleeping, my stupid heart went and fell headfirst into love.

N.R. Walker

Anna's voice wasn't a beautiful voice - rough edged and sorrowful, a bit used, somehow male and female at once. Yet it had more vibrancy to it than most Danish voices, which were often thin and white and too pretty to trigger a shiver. Anna's voice had the heat of the south; it warmed Einar, as if her throat were red with coals.

David Ebershoff

That's the problem with memories: you can visit them but you can't live with them.

Shaun David Hutchinson

When we are surrounded by such diversity - in nature, in culture, in human spirit - how can we stand not to acknowledge it?

C. N. Lester

Privilege doesn't just insulate people from the consequences of their prejudice, it cuts them off from their humanity.

DaShanne Stokes

Love has no gender - compassion has no religion - character has no race.

Abhijit Naskar

Either you are homophobic or you are a human - you cannot be both.

Abhijit Naskar

Homosexuals are not made, they are born.

Abhijit Naskar

Homosexuality is immutable, irreversible and nonpathological.

Abhijit Naskar

Being homosexual is no more abnormal than being lefthanded.

Abhijit Naskar

Can you imagine, somebody telling you, your love for your dearly beloved is a sin! Can you imagine, somebody telling you, women are inferior to men, and are meant only serve the men! Can you imagine, somebody telling you, a man can have multiple wives, and yet be deemed civilized! Here that somebody is a fundamentalist ape - a theoretical pest from the stone-age, that somehow managed to survive even amidst all the rise of reasoning and intellect.

Abhijit Naskar

The heavy warlike losses of the AIDS years were relegated to queer studies classrooms, taught as gay history and not American history.

Alysia Abbott

We assume that anything that is new to us is new to human society as a whole, and that if we don’t see it reflected in history textbooks and in recent memory then it cannot have existed for long.

C. N. Lester

You look like a lesbian artist fairy.

LaCour Nina

Only by speaking out can we create lasting change. And that change begins with coming out.

DaShanne Stokes

Every woman I have ever loved has left her print upon me, where I loved some invaluable piece of myself apart from me-so different that I had to stretch and grow in order to recognize her. And in that growing, we came to separation, that place where work begins.

Audre Lorde

I've fought for religious freedom and I can tell you that anti-gay 'religious freedom' bills aren't it.

DaShanne Stokes

Today's 'religious freedom' policies should not be seen as a problem limited to LGBT people but as a co-optation of religion that affects us all.

DaShanne Stokes

If you voted for a man who said "Grab em by the pussy," you have zero room to claim to protect anyone in bathrooms.

DaShanne Stokes

Dear Rocky,Here I am taking my pencil in my hand to say hello, hoping you are in the best of health, both physically and mentally. As for me, I am fine thanks to Almighty God.The weather in the valley is in the shits. It's been raining since Thanksgiving and here it is almost at the end of December and it's still raining. Instead of growing a prick, I think I'm going to grow a tail, like a tadpole. Ha, ha, ha!

Rocky Gamez

People think that LGBTs adopting children will hurt them, but it's not being in loving homes that hurts children most.

DaShanne Stokes

What does love mean if we would deny it to others?

DaShanne Stokes

The power of love is that it sees all people.

DaShanne Stokes

The world could use more love. Why deny it to others?

DaShanne Stokes

In the unification of two minds, orientation of sexuality is irrelevant.

Abhijit Naskar

Love should never mean having to live in fear.

DaShanne Stokes

Fear is the intended result of codifying homophobia into law.

DaShanne Stokes

Because I am, just as you are you. We don’t always get to pick who we are, Shelly Wynn, but we can choose to celebrate it.

Nathan Reese Maher

Being equal does not mean being the same.

Rebekah Elizabeth Gamble

Same-sex marriage has not created problems for religious institutions religious institutions have created problems for same-sex marriage.

DaShanne Stokes

When you've grown up mis-educated, surrounded by fear and hate, unaware of your privilege, lies can sound like the truth.

DaShanne Stokes

The more I write stories for young people, and the more young readers I meet, the more I'm struck by how much kids long to see themselves in stories. To see their identities and perspectives—their avatars—on the page. Not as issues to be addressed or as icons for social commentary, but simply as people who get to do cool things in amazing worlds. Yes, all the “issue” books are great and have a place in literature, but it's a different and wildly joyous gift to find yourself on the pages of an entertainment, experiencing the thrills and chills of a world more adventurous than our own.And when you see that as a writer, you quickly realize that you don't want to be the jerk who says to a young reader, “Sorry, kid. You don't get to exist in story; you're too different.” You don't want to be part of our present dystopia that tells kids that if they just stopped being who they are they could have a story written about them, too. That's the role of the bad guy in the dystopian stories, right? Given a choice, I'd rather be the storyteller who says every kid can have a chance to star.
