“See, in our community that’s frowned upon when you have a big brown wad on your finger. You’re just kind of like, can we get rid of that?”
— ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’s’ Carson Kressley after the straight police officer they just made over fed his girlfriend a gooey glob of chocolate with his finger, on the Aug. 19 episode.
“I do support domestic partnership. I think that gay marriage [sic] is something that should be between a man and a woman.”
— Arnold Schwarzenegger on the Fox News Channel, Aug. 27.
“The percentage of gays [in bodybuilding] is the same, probably, as anywhere. Most bodybuilders are straight, regular street guys, though a lot aren’t serious. Many in California are punks, beach bums just lying around in the sun and maybe collecting unemployment.”
— Arnold Schwarzenegger to Oui magazine, August 1977.
“Men shouldn’t feel like fags just because they want to have nice-looking bodies. Another thing: Recently I posed for a gay magazine, which caused much comment. But it doesn’t bother me. Gay people are fighting the same kind of stereotyping that bodybuilders are: People have certain misconceptions about them just as they do about us. Well, I have absolutely no hang-ups about the fag business; though it may bother some bodybuilders, it doesn’t affect me at all.”
— Arnold Schwarzenegger to Oui magazine, August 1977.
“Eventually when full gay and lesbian rights are available, Americans will do what they did in Vermont. They’ll realize it’s not such a big deal. People are people. You know what the biggest issues in the gay and lesbian community are? Just like they are in everyone else’s society: jobs and health insurance.”
— Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean to St. Louis’ exp magazine, Aug. 29.
”I actually think these kinds of shows [like ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’] that are sort of in-your-face are gonna pass eventually because as gays and lesbians gain greater and greater acceptance in America they’re going to be accepted as human beings and these shows are going to lose their shock and novelty value.”
— Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean to St. Louis’ exp magazine, Aug. 29.
”He looks like he was freeze-dried in 1978 and brought back to life as a stereotypical 1970s queen. I can’t believe that he worked at Ralph Lauren with those shirts, and the matching necklaces and bracelets. The irony of it all is that the other guys are better dressed than him.”
New York Times Magazine Fashion Director Robert Bryan on ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’s’ Carson Kressley, to The New York Times News Service, Aug. 24.
