“Pope John Paul II opposed the use of condoms and therefore contributed to the deaths of millions from AIDS. One month prior to his death this pope authorized the Vatican to block recognition of gay human rights authorized by the United Nations. He considered being gay evil. He continued persecuting gay clergy, but under his administration, the Vatican protected pedophile priests. No, I do not mourn this father figure, this prince of pedophiles. For, like so many father figures in so many families, using religion as the battering ram, he encouraged the persecution of the gay community worldwide, while avoiding dealing with the dysfunction in his own family, child sexual abuse. This is not greatness.”

“I did it [got a dyke haircut] as a ‘fuck you’ [to the company I was fighting with over my magazine]. ‘You think you can scare me with your corporate suit? C’mere. You don’t know what I’ve lived through. Watch this. I’ll shave my fuckin’ hair off. Want to call me a dyke? I’ll be a bigger dyke than you could ever see.’”

“It’s [being gay] just sort of incidental for me because I don’t even date anybody. I have never dated anybody for more than, like, three months in my entire life. I’ve never been in love; I don’t think I believe in love. So I just don’t even date. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been on a date.”
