Gay-isms
- If homosexuality is realy an illness then call in sick to work :-) "Hello. Can't work today, still queer." ~ Robin Tyler
- I'd rather be black than gay because when you're black you don't have to tell your mother. ~ Charles Pierce
- 'You could move.' ~ Abigail Van Buren, "Dear Abby," In response to a reader who complained that a gay couple was moving in across the street and wanted to know what he could do to improve the quality of the neighborhood.
- Why can't they have gay people in the army? Personally, I think they are just afraid of a thousand guys with M16s going, "Who'd you call a faggot?" ~Jon Stewart
- My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity. All those women out there praying for a man, and I'm giving them my share. ~ Rita Mae Brown
- Soldiers who are not afraid of guns, bombs, capture, torture or death say they are afraid of homosexuals. Clearly we should not be used as soldiers; we should be used as weapons. ~ Letter to the Editor, The Advocate
- You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight. ~ Barry Goldwater
- Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands? ~ Ernest Gaines
- My own belief is that there is hardly anyone whose sexual life, if it were broadcast, would not fill the world at large with surprise and horror. ~ W.Somerset Maugham
- 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
- My mother took me to a psychiatrist when I was fifteen because she thought I was a latent homosexual. There was nothing latent about it. ~ Amanda Bearse
- It always seemed to me a bit pointless to disapprove of homosexuality. It's like disapproving of rain. ~ Francis Maude
- The only queer people are those who don't love anybody. ~ Rita Mae Brown
- The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision. ~ Lynn Lavner

What a great set of quotes! Your own compilation? I've tried to do this on other topics - it's damn hard work. Bravo.
Alas I wish I could take credit for it but no - 'twas an email I received today :-)
