“We consider the opera queen to be a pre-Stonewall throwback because we homophobically devalue opera love as addictive behavior and as displaced eroticism.”
― The Queen's Throat: Opera, Homosexuality, and the Mystery of Desire
― The Queen's Throat: Opera, Homosexuality, and the Mystery of Desire
“Older age can be challenging for LGBTQ people when living an independent life becomes more difficult. Having lived in a same-sex relationship for many years there are limited choices about living in a retirement home where some people may feel that they have to supress their sexuality in order to appease others. I hear less these days about this aspect of LGBT life, being forced back into the closet in order to live in close proximity to others, that can cause depression particularly where there may be no close relatives or friends having lived a long life”
