Quotes by Dennis Altman (?)

“While one would expect a liberated society to regard bisexuality as the norm, this view would not mean that all persons would behave bisexually … The nonrepressed person recognizes his bisexual potential, he is not some ideal person midway along the Kinsey behavioral scale. People would still fall in love and form relationships, and these relationships would be homosexual as well as heterosexual. What would be different is that the social difference between the two would vanish, and once this happened we would lose the feeling of being limited, of having to choose between an exclusively straight or exclusively gay world.”
― Dennis Altman, Homosexual: Oppresion & Liberation

“[Queer theory is] the bastard child of the gay and lesbian movement and postmodern literary theory, which like other unwed mothers has been very loath to acknowledge the father.”
― Dennis Altman, Homosexual: Oppresion & Liberation

“Promiscuity' - a word best defined as anyone who has more sex than you.”
