Gay Men Thinking

More From Ricky Martin

...even if gay marriage were legalized there would still be gay men who didn't want to marry, gay men no other gay men would want to marry, and gay men who didn't want to leave the priesthood in order to marry.

In my real life, both my bosses are gay. on the 'real housewives of atlanta,' andy cohen is gay, everybody at bravo is gay - we call them the gay mafia. over at 'glee' and 'the new normal,' my boss ryan murphy is gay. on the show, my boss, played by andrew reynolds, is gay in real life. i'm surrounded by all my gay bosses.

I just want to be clear before we decide to do this together: i'm gay. my music is gay. my show is gay. and i love that it's gay. and i love my gay fans, and they're all going to be coming to our show. and it's going to remain gay.

I cannot prevent anyone from getting angry, or mad, or frustrated. i can only hope that they'll turn that anger and frustration and madness into something positive, so that two, three, four, five hundred will step forward, so the gay doctors will come out, the gay lawyers, the gay judges, gay bankers, gay architects i hope that every professional gay will say 'enough', come forward and tell everybody, wear a sign, let the world know. maybe that will help.

"let's say we discover the gene that says the kid's gonna be gay. how many parents, if they knew before the kid was gonna be born, [that he] was gonna be gay, they would take the pregnancy to term? well, you don't know but let's say half of them said, "oh, no, i don't wanna do that to a kid." [then the] gay community finds out about this. the gay community would do the fastest 180 and become pro-life faster than anybody you've ever seen. ... they'd be so against abortion if it was discovered that you could abort what you knew were gonna be gay babies."

We've had a culture war roaring away, and the kinds of people who want to abuse and discriminate against gay people who are adults can't really lay their hands on us unless they want to be gay-bashers and go to jail. they abuse us from afar and in the abstract, they abuse us with checkbooks and ballots, but their kids go to school on monday morning. and there's a gay kid. and they feel they have license to beat that gay kid up in a way that i don't think they did when i was in school. i think it's gotten worse.

Similar Quotes

We always loved to say 'if i'd had a monday-morning class, i never would have met you'. or 'if you'd been reading something else, none of this would have happened'. we didn't believe in fate, but we believed in serendipity. we felt very lucky.

There are two tests in life, more important than any other test. on monday morning, when you wake up, do you feel in the pit of your stomach you can't wait to go to work? and when you're ready to go home friday afternoon, do you say, 'i can't wait to go home?'

In my lifelong study of human beings, i have found that no matter how hard they might try, they have found no way yet to prevent the arrival of monday morning. and they do try, of course, but monday always comes, and all the drones have to scuttle back to their dreary workaday lives of meaningless toil and suffering.

Who remembers when we used to rest on sunday instead of monday?
