I’ll tell you something. I think one of the bad things about the whole gay experience is that it jerks everything out of perspective. People only perceive that, and they think you don’t have any other life. You don’t have any other intellectual life. You don’t have any spiritual life. You aren’t interested in history. You’re only interested in gay history. It’s like you’re not a fully realized person. And I’m always trying to be a fully realized person. -- in spite of my sexual confusions, which I thought were the least interesting thing about me. The great fallacy about ever sleeping with a woman is that people think you are attracted to every woman you meet. I hate that. It drives me nuts. I’m not; I’m attracted to very few people.
-- Liz Smith, interviewed in The Advocate
