To be a dumb gay person is a luxury that was won for you by gay people who came before when being gay was so complicated and so difficult that dumb gay people didn’t last.
Dan Savage, from the documentary Making the Boys, about the play/movie The Boys in the Band.
Gay history is so fascinating and so heartbreaking, it’s a shame it isn’t more well known, especially now that there are enough fearless gays and lesbians to tell their stories and the stories of older generations.
