“There are other grounds for believing that gays and lesbians should be respected and protected from oppression: their right to privacy and freedom of action
and expression; the "victimless" nature of homosexual relations; and the many valuable contributions that gays and lesbians make to society.”
Simon LeVay
“What's more, the kaleidoscopic blend of gender-variant and gender-typical traits that characterizes gay people is exactly what enables us to make our own unique contributions to society. It's the reason that we should be valued, celebrated, and welcomed into society rather than merely being tolerated. The aim should be to foster acceptance of gay people as we are, in all our rich diversity and not to seek acceptance by shoe-horning ourselves into conformity with the straight majority.”
Simon LeVay, Gay, Straight, and the Reason Why: The Science of Sexual Orientation
“When these flies were put together in all-male groups they formed long, moving chains resembling conga lines, with each male attempting (unsuccessfully) to mate with the male in front of it.”
