Thoughts from Pride

Jun 11, 2009 15:12

This weekend Jake and I went to Pride (Utah's Gay Pride festival). Had a blast in the rain and managed to drag Vansoolen into it too. After the day was done I came up with one question, Why do the Lesbians seem to let themselves go and the Gays take better care of themselves then straight men? I mean this as an overall statement and not pointed at anyone sense I have a lot of gay friends. It was just something that I noticed while I was there.

And now, here are some pro-gay quotes I found. Enjoy :D

Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?  ~Ernest Gaines

Homosexuality is god's way of insuring that the truly gifted aren't burdened with children.  ~Sam Austin

Who would give a law to lovers?  Love is unto itself a higher law.  ~Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy, A.D. 524

If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work:  "Hello.  Can't work today, still queer."  ~Robin Tyler

War.  Rape.  Murder.  Poverty.  Equal rights for gays.  Guess which one the Southern Baptist Convention is protesting?  ~The Value of Families

If time and space are curved, where do all of the straight people come from?  ~Author Unknown

What is straight?  A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it's curved like a road through mountains.  ~Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire, 1947

There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex.  People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats.  ~Elton John

Drag is when a man wears everything a lesbian won't.  ~Author Unknown

If male homosexuals are called "gay," then female homosexuals should be called "ecstatic."  ~Shelly Roberts

People sometimes think I'm gay because I once played a gay in a movie.  It's funny.  Audiences don't think you're a murderer if you play a murderer, but they do think you're gay if you play a gay.  ~Perry King

It's hard enough to be taken seriously in the struggle for gay rights without having a bunch of straight girls running around kissing each other to get the attention of boys and videocameras.  ~M. Robin D'Antan, 2002

Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.  ~Woody Allen

Labels are for filing.  Labels are for clothing.  Labels are not for people.  ~Martina Navratilova

The important thing is not the object of love, but the emotion itself.  ~Gore Vidal

My cousin is an agoraphobic homosexual, which makes it kind of hard for him to come out of the closet.  ~Bill Kelly

If horse racing is the sport of kings, then drag racing must be the sport of queens.  ~Bert R. Sugar

Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.  ~Homer

There is just one life for each of us:  our own.  ~Euripides

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.  ~Dr. Seuss

Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves.  ~Friedrich Nietzsche

Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
