Back Sayings Index Forward Sayings: Page 3 "All the straight men I've told [that I'm a lesbian] haven't been in the least bit surprised. Most of the gay men were gobsmacked. I suspect that the straight men realize that you are not flirting with them; gay men, bless them, don't notice." - Newly out British Member of Parliament and Junior Environmental Minister Angela Eagle, to London's The Independent "Living with a boyfriend really does change your life. No longer do you have to trawl the bars every night desperately searching for sex -- I get to stay home and beg for it. Why do none of your friends in relationships warn you? I suppose it's the only pleasure in their sad lives -- watching you make the same mistakes." - Columnist Graham Norton in London's The Pink Paper, Aug. 29 issue "Now no one need doubt that relationships can be a good thing and that many people find fulfillment in them. But we should also make it clear that not everyone is a good candidate for a relationship. History and literature, to say nothing of the lives of our friends, provide abundant examples of people psychologically stuck in empty, drab, stultifying, demeaning, damaging and emotionally draining, miserable relationships. Some people are unpleasant or mean-spirited, emotionally immature or psychologically unstable, insensitive or dull, or even complete jerks. Urging a relationship on such people would be a disservice to them or their potential partner. Other people may be pleasant and interesting enough to be decent partners, but are focused on concerns other than a relationship: a career, a personal goal, a life-project or an exploration of their own individual potential." - Syndicated gay-press columnist Paul Varnell in a mid-September filing "I was drunk.

"The error of youth is to believe that intelligence is a substitute for experience, while the error of age is to believe that experience is a substitute for intelligence." - Lyman Bryson Jennifer Gerarda Brown estimates that the first state to legalize same-sex marriage will collect a $4.3 billion bonus in tourism. Her figures? 3 percent of Americans are gay; gay people would marry at one-third the rate of the general population; and gay couples would spend an average of $6,000 on their wedding and honeymoon. Q: Dear Abby--A pair of gay men is moving in across the street. What can we do to improve the neighbourhood? A: You could move. - Abigail Van Buren "Heterosexuality is not normal, just common." Top
