We put together a series of quotes that might inspire, encourage and help you with whatever you are dealing with in your live right now.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

Dr. Seuss

"The white light streams down to be broken up by those human prisms into all the colors of the rainbow.  Take your own color in the pattern and be just that."

Charles R. Brown

"No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love.  The only queer people are those who don't love anybody." 

Rita Mae Brown, speech, 28 August 1982

"No matter how far in or out of the closet you are, you still have a next step."

 Unknown

"Everybody's journey is individual.  If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy.  The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality."

James Baldwin

"I'm a supporter of gay rights.  And not a closet supporter either.  From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community.  There are so many qualities that make up a human being... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant."

Paul Newman

"It always seemed to me a bit pointless to disapprove of homosexuality.  It's like disapproving of rain." 

Francis Maude

"To hear two American men congratulating each other on being heterosexual is one of the most chilling experiences - and unique to the United States.  You don't hear two Italians sitting around complimenting each other because they actually like to go to bed with women.  The American is hysterical about his manhood." 

Gore Vidal

"There's this illusion that homosexuals have sex and heterosexuals fall in love.  That's completely untrue.  Everybody wants to be loved."

Boy George

"What are you trying to protect heterosexual marriages from?  There isn't a limited amount of love in Iowa.  It isn't a non-renewable resource.  If Amy and Barbara or Mike and Steve love each other, it doesn't mean that John and Mary can't."

Ed Fallon

"In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality:  the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation." 

Simone de Beauvoir

"Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night." 

Woody Allen

"Only the human mind invents categories and tries to force facts into separated pigeon-holes.  The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects.  The sooner we learn this concerning sexual behavior the sooner we shall reach a sound understanding of the realities of sex." 

Alfred Kinsey

"Labels are for filing.  Labels are for clothing.  Labels are not for people."

Martina Navratilova

"Never be bullied into silence.  Never allow yourself to be made a victim.  Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself."

Harvey Fierstein

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.  If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened.  But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

Friedrich Nietzsche

"The plague of mankind is the fear and rejection of diversity:  monotheism, monarchy, monogamy and, in our age, monomedicine.  The belief that there is only one right way to live, only one right way to regulate religious, political, sexual, medical affairs is the root cause of the greatest threat to man:  members of his own species, bent on ensuring his salvation, security, and sanity."
