QUOTE : Gay Pride puzzles me even more than counting the dots in a blur. In my own naive way, I don’t understand why some people feel they have to announce, in public, that they feel proud of their sexuality. In my simple mind, sex seems a hell of a lot of fun, and often includes deep emotion, even “religious” emotion, but has never provoked the kind of pride that one has for straight A’s on a report card, or a Nobel prize, say. Sexual “pride” makes me think of young boys bragging to each other in a locker room — and usually lying their heads off about their “conquests.
