We Homosexuals know much about ourselves that we've never talked about = even to our selves. History knows much about us that it doesn't know it knows - but we could recognize it if we would look. Myth and Legend, Tradition and Folk-ways know much about us that has been deliberately obscured by endless politically motivated Conspiracies of Silence - which we can explode if we will.

Homosexuals do not understand themselves and thus it is not surprising that heterosexuals do not understand them ether.

Social Directions of the Homosexual (1951)

I knew that I was gay in every bone of my body. So I did the only thing I could do. I started the movement.

Our goal is total liberation life is for the living. We are alive! We want all to be alive! Sex is a sure cure of boredom and an antidote to violence that is so American. Power to the People!

We say that homosexuality is a perfectly natural state, a fact, a way of life, and that we enjoy our sexuality, without feelings of inferiority or guilt. We seek and find love, and approach love, as a feeling of loving mutuality.

…I always say to people, "If you share my dream, why don't we walk together?" And that's my only organizing tool.
