Look, look, we tell each other. It's Tom!

He's Mr. Bellamy to his history students. But he's Tom to us. Tom! It's so good to see him. So wonderful to see him. Tom is one of us. Tom went through it all with us. Tom made it through. He was there in the hospital with so many of us, the archangel of St. Vincent's, our healthier version, prodding the doctors and calling over the nurses and holding our hands and holding the hands of our partners, our parents, our little sisters - anyone who had a hand to be held. He had to watch so many of us die, had to say goodbye so many times. Outside of our rooms he would get angry, upset, despairing. But when he was with us, it was like he was powered solely by an engine of grace. Even the people who loved us would hesitate at first to touch us - more from the shock of our diminishment, from the strangeness of how we were both gone and present, not who we were but still who we were. Tom became used to this. First because of Dennis, the way he stayed with Dennis until the very end. He could have left after that, after Dennis was gone. We wouldn't have blamed him. But he stayed. When his friends got sick, he was there. And for those of us he'd never know before - he was always a smile in the room, always a touch on the shoulder, a light flirtation that we needed. The y should have made him a nurse. They should have made him mayor. He lost years of his life to us, although that's not the story he'd tell. He would say he gained. And he ~ David Levithan
Gay Heroes quotes by David Levithan
When I got married, my mother was very surprised. She said: 'What on earth is going on? I thought you were gay?' ~ Stephen Daldry
Gay Heroes quotes by Stephen Daldry
His hands were magnets - shifting polarities - drawn and repelled to the unknown parts of another man's body. ~ Cory Ingram
Gay Heroes quotes by Cory Ingram
You look hot. The straight men will want you, the gay men will want beauty tips, and the women will want to scratch your eyes out. If that isn't the stuff of fairy tales, I don't know what is. ~ Zoey Dean
Gay Heroes quotes by Zoey Dean
Today, the ideal male is the gay man and the ideal female is the worker female, the woman who can work in a coal mine just like all the other men. ~ Camille Paglia
Gay Heroes quotes by Camille Paglia
There is nothing wrong with being gay. It's like being Swedish. A little different but in no way important. ~ David Leddick
Gay Heroes quotes by David Leddick
Isabelle looked dubious. "Mom and Dad won't be pleased if they find out."
"That you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who looks like a gay Sonic the Hedgehog and dresses like the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Band? Simon inquired. "No, probably not. ~ Cassandra Clare
Gay Heroes quotes by Cassandra Clare
We were the children of white flight, the first generation to grow up in postwar American suburbs. By the time the '60s rolled around, many of us, the gay ones especially, were eager to make a U-turn and fly back the other way. Whether or not the city was obsolete, we couldn't imagine our personal futures in any other form. The street and the skyline signified to us what the lawn and the highway signified to our parents: a place to breathe free. ~ Herbert Muschamp
Gay Heroes quotes by Herbert Muschamp
Being gay is immutable. ~ Andrew Solomon
Gay Heroes quotes by Andrew Solomon
I learned a long time ago that life introduces young people to situations they are in no way prepared for, even good girls, lucky girls who want for nothing. Sometimes, when you least expect it, you become the girl in the woods. You lose your name because another one is forced on you. You think you are alone until you find books about girls like you. Salvation is certainly among the reasons I read. Reading and writing have always pulled me out of the darkest experiences in my life. Stories have given me a place in which to lose myself. They have allowed me to remember. They have allowed me to forget. They have allowed me to imagine different endings and better possible worlds. ~ Roxane Gay
Gay Heroes quotes by Roxane Gay
In the evening, the tarantella dancers will come to the hotel; perhaps they'll dance and sing in the courtyard that is dripping with wistaria blooms and pungent with citrus perfumes.
They wear gay costumes, these who sing and dance for us to keep alive the romance of other days; and they are full of that joy in living which seems the gift of these siren shores. ~ Clara E. Laughlin
Gay Heroes quotes by Clara E. Laughlin
Therese leaned closer toward it, looking down at her glass. She wanted to thrust the table aside and spring into her arms, to bury her nose in the green and gold scarf that was tied close about her neck. Once the backs of their hands brushed on the table, and Therese's skin there felt separately alive now, and rather burning. ~ Patricia Highsmith
Gay Heroes quotes by Patricia Highsmith
[Piper] rushed to get dressed. By the time she got up on deck, the others had already gathered - all hastily dressed except for Coach Hedge, who had pulled the night watch.
Frank's Vancouver Winter Olympics shirt was inside out. Percy wore pajama pants and a bronze breastplate, which was an interesting fashion statement. Hazel's hair was all blown to one side as though she'd walked through a cyclone; and Leo had accidentally set himself on fire. His T-shirt was in charred tatters. His arms were smoking. ~ Rick Riordan
Gay Heroes quotes by Rick Riordan
If you have laws and legislation that ban certain things based on the principles of the Scriptures and based on your Christian background, then let it stand there. Who is having big debates with the Islamic people about it (gay rights)? Who is telling them to bend their laws? If your laws are based on your Christian points of view, then you must stand your ground? ~ Bishop Noel Jones
Gay Heroes quotes by Bishop Noel Jones
The old Victorian laws against homosexuality were still on the statute books until the early 1990s. As a gay man living in Ireland, I and people like me found it easy to feel less than citizens. ~ Colm Toibin
Gay Heroes quotes by Colm Toibin
Want nothing but the best for your friends because when your friends are happy and successful, it's probably going to be easier for you to be happy. ~ Roxane Gay
Gay Heroes quotes by Roxane Gay
Why are you asking me? I'm seventeen and don't know anything about what to do when you're autistic and gay. ~ Claire LaZebnik
Gay Heroes quotes by Claire LaZebnik
To be perfectly honest, I've gotten attention from gay men for a long time. ~ David Walton
Gay Heroes quotes by David Walton
Being transgender, like being gay, tall, short, white, black, male, or female, is another part of the human condition that makes each individual unique, and something over which we have no control. We are who we are in the deepest recesses of our minds, hearts and identities. ~ Linda Thompson
Gay Heroes quotes by Linda Thompson
There was something infinitely impressive about the man, tall, slender, gray-haired, blue-eyed, soft-spoken. He had the looks of the doctors one read about in women's novels. There was something so basically kind and gentle about him, yet something powerful as well. The aura of a highly trained racehorse always straining at the reins, aching to go faster, farther ... to do more ... to fight time ... to conquer odds beyond hope ... to steal back just one life ... one man ... one woman ... one child ... one more. And often he won. Often. But not always. And that irked him. More than that, it pained him. It was the cause for the lines beside his eyes, the sorrow one saw deep within him. It wasn't enough that he wrought miracles almost daily. He wanted more than that, better odds, he wanted to save them all, and there was no way he could. ~ Danielle Steel
Gay Heroes quotes by Danielle Steel
The truth is that heroes bleed and fear the same as anyone else. ~ Derek Miller
Gay Heroes quotes by Derek Miller
To me, I think it's awesome to meet your heroes and find out who they are and where they came from and what made them choose to communicate in the form that connected with you. ~ Neil Strauss
Gay Heroes quotes by Neil Strauss
I was sure we would never see the adoption of the Euro. Countries giving up their currencies for a common tender was, it seemed to me, completely out of tune with currency being a carrier of people's cultural identity, celebrating national heroes and events, as it had been for hundreds of years. ~ John Naisbitt
Gay Heroes quotes by John Naisbitt
Again and again, where Tolkien's heroes make heroic choices, Jackson's versions of these characters must be tricked or forced or involuntarily stumble into the courses of action that seem to make them heroes. It is important, therefore, to see just how important choice was to Tolkien, and to heroism. ~ Matthew Dickerson
Gay Heroes quotes by Matthew Dickerson
How can this be? How could we have been just sitting there, happily eating our lunch, and then Jess announces that she's gay? Like who does that anyway? And how is it possible that I never even saw this coming? I mean if you best friend has no clue that you're gay, then who does? ~ Melody Carlson
Gay Heroes quotes by Melody Carlson
I realize how depraved it was to instill false guilt in an innocent child's conscience, causing a distorted image of life, God, & self, leaving little if any feeling of personal worth. ~ Mary Griffith
Gay Heroes quotes by Mary Griffith
On the other hand, we are not given a Book of Mormon for some time, just when Christopher had begun to feel insulted. It was analogous, he said, to going to a gay bar and not being checked out. He wasn't gay, but wasn't it nice to be asked? ~ Liz Stephens
Gay Heroes quotes by Liz Stephens
If I were ever to grace the pages of 'Vogue,' I would want my image retouched because the audience is so vast. There is great vulnerability in being exposed to that many judging eyes. I feel no small amount of guilt over this willingness to surrender my ideals. ~ Roxane Gay
Gay Heroes quotes by Roxane Gay
Many of my heroes, like Galileo, Maxwell, Newton and, less explicitly, Einstein thought what they were doing was finding out what God is. All of them had this inspiration that if you want to find out what God is, you have to look at his work. ~ Frank Wilczek
Gay Heroes quotes by Frank Wilczek
If you play a gay role, it sticks more than it does if an actor were to play a murderer or a psychopath. ~ Harry Hamlin
Gay Heroes quotes by Harry Hamlin
I've heard all the things - their marriage is not real, he's gay, she's gay, they swing. But at the end of the day, people have to believe what they have to believe ... One thing Will and I are not here to do, is like, what's real for us is what's real for us, so you can either get on that bandwagon or not. I'll tell you what, it's too hard to be in a pretend marriage. Life's too short for that one. ~ Jada Pinkett Smith
Gay Heroes quotes by Jada Pinkett Smith
I really don't have a problem with gay marriage ... because I'm tolerant and rational. ~ David Cross
Gay Heroes quotes by David Cross
I look at my first books and am glad they weren't published ... You start writing by imitating your heroes, then you keep the heart of that worship in your work. As time goes by, you get other influences and find your own voice. ~ Markus Zusak
Gay Heroes quotes by Markus Zusak
My own country's record on human rights for gay people is far from perfect. ~ Hillary Clinton
Gay Heroes quotes by Hillary Clinton
I just feel like we're starting to interfere on a level that's sort of ... extreme." "But that's what heroes do. ~ Seanan McGuire
Gay Heroes quotes by Seanan McGuire
Perhaps the final hour is come I have left no testament Only a pen, for my mother I am no hero in an age without heroes I just want to be a man. ~ Bei Dao
Gay Heroes quotes by Bei Dao
Public intellectuals are often put in the position of having their words, no matter how off-the-cuff, treated as doctrine. ~ Roxane Gay
Gay Heroes quotes by Roxane Gay
Now, that's what you call a vicious French queen. I never discussed your penis size – "
"Bet you did," Kevin said, "at the beginning. I've heard the way gay guys talk at the gym. Nothing's sacred. Not even my poor little penis. ~ Edmund White
Gay Heroes quotes by Edmund White
No, what he didn't like about heroes was that they were usually suicidally gloomy when sober and homicidally insane when drunk. ~ Terry Pratchett
Gay Heroes quotes by Terry Pratchett
There was a moment, however, when the King and I were looking directly into each other's eyes, and in that instant I had a revelation that takes much longer to explain than to experience. Here am I, I reflected, being decorated as a hero, and in the eyes of everybody here I am indeed a hero; but I know that my heroic act was rather a dirty job I did when I was dreadfully frightened; I could just as easily have muddled it and been ingloriously killed. But it doesn't much matter, because people seem to need heroes; so long as I don't lose sight of the truth, it might as well be me as anyone else. And here before me stands a marvellously groomed little man who is pinning a hero's medal on me because some of his forebears were Alfred the Great, and Charles the First, and even King Arthur, for anything I know to the contrary. But I shouldn't be surprised if inside he feels as puzzled about the fate that brings him here as I. ~ Robertson Davies
Gay Heroes quotes by Robertson Davies
Jaxton met his gaze for just a second, then scowled and turned away.
The recognition in that look was painful; years of recollections and long forgotten
emotions buzzed through his brain. Ashamed of the flare of attraction he'd just allowed
himself, he turned away and faked a smile. ~ Elaine White
Gay Heroes quotes by Elaine White
It was fine to be mocked or disliked on his own terms. But his sexual orientation was such a naked target, unfortified by nonchalance and lacking the benefit of being a persona he'd constructed. Gay Mark wasn't sheddable like Smart-Ass Mark or Bitter-About-the-Move Mark. ~ Lisa Henry
Gay Heroes quotes by Lisa Henry
When you're a kid. When you're a kid all you do is idolize people. You look up to them, and you wanna look up at them, your heroes, you do, and you listen to their speeches about on loyalty and family and every other fucking thing. But then when you grow up, when you grow up yourself, and when you get tall enough, when you're tall enough to look them in the eyes? You realize that they're just a fucking asshole like everybody else. ~ Chris Kasparoza
Gay Heroes quotes by Chris Kasparoza
A lot of my friends are club people. It's not me. It's funny to represent that, because it's not me. I don't fit into a gay club setting. It's just ironic that I represent that somehow. ~ Randy Harrison
Gay Heroes quotes by Randy Harrison
city's anthem, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," was written in 1954 by two gay lovers who were pining for "the city by the bay" after moving to Brooklyn Heights. ~ David Talbot
Gay Heroes quotes by David Talbot
You can't pray the gay away. ~ Jessica Verdi
Gay Heroes quotes by Jessica Verdi
See, heroes never die. John Wayne isn't dead, Elvis isn't dead. Otherwise you don't have a hero. You can't kill a hero. That's why I never let him get older. ~ Mickey Spillane
Gay Heroes quotes by Mickey Spillane
I've got quite a big gay following. I played a lesbian prostitute in the TV series 'Band Of Gold' but I think my following really grew when I played one in the film 'Imagine Me & You,' with Piper Perabo. ~ Lena Headey
Gay Heroes quotes by Lena Headey
We nurture the candle flames that show the way ahead. We are guerrillas of the word, unsung heroes breathing softly on the embers of the human mind, so that they might re-ignite the hearths around which we once found safe haven. The book is the Light and the Life. ~ Mark Cantrell
