['non-white' gay men] are run over at the intersection of racism and homophobia

Privilege is presuming to speak for others you know nothing about.

Privilege is when you can afford to sit back and criticize others who have to fight for the things you take for granted.

Freedom means equality. If you don't believe in equality for all, you don't believe in freedom.

This is why homophobia is a terrible evil: it disguises itself as concern while it is inherently hate.

Our love of lockstep is our greatest curse, the source of all that bedevils us. It is the source of homophobia, xenophobia, racism, sexism, terrorism, bigotry of every variety and hue, because it tells us there is one right way to do things, to look, to behave, to feel, when the only right way is to feel your heart hammering inside you and to listen to what its timpani is saying.
