Anything that raises any internal honesty about gay life is inherently suspect.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For gay people, we learned about our lives in secrecy and a lot of fear.
For thousands of years, there have been lies about being gay or not being gay. If you know they're lies, you're free.
I have lived my life very openly, and have never hidden the fact that I am gay!
Love is the terrible secret people are suspected of unless they're married, then one always suspects they don't.
I think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.
I've had gay friends who grew up in small towns in France who had to lie for most of their lives, even to themselves. But eventually such lies become stronger than the people, and they have to face them.
Something inside of me tells me that being homosexual is probably wrong.
I don't think closeted homosexual morticians have the market cornered on self-loathing or sense of shame.
And so it's inescapable and people who proclaim scrupulous honesty can only proclaim that if they don't examine closely the things they believe.
It became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality.
