My reasons for declaring a sexual preference had to do less with the pursuit of personal freedom than with the lust for pure shock value.

Proclaiming a sexual preference is something that straight men never really have to bother with.

Whenever regulation increases, personal freedom decreases.

When you think that you are free, do you pay attention to the elements of your thoughts and where have they leaked into your brain from?

My gayness became quietly accepted and, shock of all shocks, life went on.

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.
