Mario Mieli was a leading figure in the Italian gay movement of the 1970's. He combined a radical theoretical perspective with a provocative public persona.

“I keep my treasure in my arse, but then my arse is open to everyone . . .”
Mario Mieli, Towards a Gay Communism: Elements of a Homosexual Critique

“Querido compañero ¿Te has preguntado por qué te cabreas tanto cuando se pone en discusión el rechazo de tu deseo homosexual? ¿Tu homosexualidad cabreada? Y, por favor, no me digas: «tú eres libre de hacer lo que quieras, pero no te metas conmigo», cuando tú no eres libre de desearme, de hacer el amor conmigo, de gozar de la comunicación sexual de nuestros cuerpos; cuando te cierras de antemano a la posibilidad de tener una relación sexual conmigo. Si tú no eres libre, ¿cómo puedo serlo yo?”
Mario Mieli, Homosexuality and liberation: Elements of a gay critique

“La rivoluzione la si fa ovunque. A Macondo come in tram, a Buckingham Palace come alla Breda, a pranzo dai genitori e a letto con l’amante. La parola d’ordine è AMARE: buttiamo A MARE la macchina capitalistica, e riprendiamoci il mondo”
Mario Mieli, La gaia critica: Politica e liberazione sessuale negli anni Settanta. Scritti 1972-1983
