Homosexuality, in almost all cases, is no more a matter of sexual preference than my left-handedness is a matter of manual preference.

Sydney J. Harris

It would be impossible to get through the kind of life that I have known without accumulating a vast unused stockpile of rage. Retaliation, though, was a luxury I could never afford. On the physical level I was too feeble. On any other I was not rich enough. I never dared to be rude to anyone. I never knew that I might not need him later.
