Book cover for Beyond Shame: Reclaiming the Abandoned History of Radical Gay Sexuality
Shame motivates our forward movement as we fearfully suppress images of gay people as sexual beings, encouraging instead nonthreatening roles (parent, homeowner, or campy friend) that prove "we're just like you."

Mahatma Gandhi
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
Mahatma Gandhi

Ralph Ellison
“I am an invisible man. No I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allen Poe: Nor am I one of your Hollywood movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids, and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, simply because people refuse to see me.”
Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

Hermann Hesse
“If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

Ralph Ellison
“I was never more hated than when I tried to be honest. Or when, even as just now I've tried to articulate exactly what I felt to be the truth. No one was satisfied”
Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

Ralph Ellison
“And my problem was that I always tried to go in everyone's way but my own.”
Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man
