«I JUST READ EVERYTHING»

«There is no gay gene – that is the biggest crock out there at the moment. I’m making a call to other gay writers, to say the period of identity politics is over. I’m saying to everyone, use your talents – if you’re gay, black, Asian, whatever – use them to address universal human questions. Stop trying to push young gays back into the ghetto: let them out, let them think of addressing and speaking to a general audience – that’s the true mission of the gay intellectuals of the 21st century – yes they’re gay, but they’re intellectuals first.’

-Camille Paglia.
