Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
Quotes from the Book
Living with stress and secrets is both stressful and secretive.
Freud called it ‘transference’. This basically means that you hate in others what you hate about yourself.)
Frankly, if you want to identify as a carrot, I will march in the Carrot Pride parade with you.
Um dos estereótipos mais estranhos sobre nós é que homens gay odeiam lésbicas e vice-versa. Deixe-me poupar o seu tempo. Se você está conversando com homens gay que desprezam lésbicas (ou então depreciam a vagina como conceito), está falando com imbecis misóginos. Se você está falando com uma mulher gay que classifica todos os homens gay como odiadores de lésbicas, você está falando com uma homofóbica sexista.
people aren’t allowed to say what’s really on their minds for fear of upsetting people, we’ll end up never saying anything at all.
However you identify, be it lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, asexual, curious, or carrot, we all have something in common—we are a minority, and we have made brave steps to identify as such; we have refused to hide and made a declaration of who we are.
