“I wanted to be part of a project that could potentially change someone’s life, that there could be some gay woman in the middle of the country who has no access to an extended community who could see herself represented in some way and would be able to celebrate herself rather than be ashamed.”

“Gay marriage — it’s not about sex, it’s about separation of church and state.”

“Perhaps the most interesting thing about metrosexuality is that it represents the beginning of the end of ‘sexuality,’ the 19th century pseudo-science of sexual preference that said that personality and identity are dictated by whether or not your partner’s genitals are the same shape as yours. In a hyperconsumerist post-industrial age like ours, identity and personality are not permitted to be inherent — it would put most ad agencies out of business — and are instead based on lifestyle choices, consumption patterns, brands, social circles.... From a marketing perspective, though, it makes perfect sense to maintain officially that metrosexuals are all straight — after all, advertising is trying to persuade as many men as possible to relax their sphincter muscles, cooing in their ear that there’s nothing gay about being fucked by corporate consumerism.”
