The Publisher Says: Historically revealing quotations tracing the evolution of gay and lesbian desire amid the myriad struggles for acceptance. "I am the love that dare not speak its name. " Lord Alfred Douglas, [[Oscar Wilde]]'s lover

My Review: What on earth can one say about a book of quotes?

All human beings are capable of making a homosexual object-choice and have in fact made one in their subconscious.

Sigmund Freud, who knew how to scare the bejabbers out of straight men.

In 1791, the French National Assembly abolished sodomy as an offense between consenting adults, relegating it in effect to the same category as such archaic crimes as witchcraft, heresy, and blasphemy.

Louis Crompton, whoever he is, reminding us that homophobia is a recent development...not.

Albinos aren't reproached for having pink eyes and whitish hair, why should they hold it against me for being a lesbian?
Natalie Barney, American heiress, who said this in 1900...pretty advanced thinking for the time.

The lover takes courage in her certainty of caressing a body whose secrets she knows, whose preferences her own body has taught her.

Colette, whose word on S-E-X was law in the 1920s and 1930s here in America. Guys, stop drooling.

Little teensy book that this is, it's 96pp long and has some choice moments in it. The selections truly cover the waterfront, as you see above. It's smaller than a snapshot, and it's meant to be sold next to the cash register in stores where an impulse purchase of a little giftie item was once thought to be irresistible. I myownself resisted. My daughter gave this to me as a gift.

It's fun to have these sorts of books around. Open one anywhere! Something fun, funny, thought-provoking will show right up.
