Alyssa: You know, I didn't just heed what I was taught, men and women should be together, it's the natural way, that kind of thing. I'm not with you because of what family, society, life tried to instill in me from day one. The way the world is, how seldom it is that you meet that one person who just *gets* you - it's so rare. My parents didn't really have it. There were no examples set for me in the world of male-female relationships. And to cut oneself off from finding that person, to immediately halve your options by eliminating the possibility of finding that one person within your own gender, that just seemed stupid to me. So I didn't. But then you came along. You, the one least likely. I mean, you were a guy.
Holden: Still am.
Alyssa: And while I was falling for you I put a ceiling on that, because you *were* a guy. Until I remembered why I opened the door to women in the first place: to not limit the likelihood of finding that one person who'd complement me so completely. So here we are. I was thorough when I looked for you. And I feel justified lying in your arms, 'cause I got here on my own terms, and I have no question there was some place I didn't look. And for me that makes all the difference.

-Chasing Amy

“We need to recognize that a government that would deny gays and lesbians the right to marry is a fascist state. I will continue to love myself as I would another. I have self-esteem, which is pretty unique because I am someone who wouldn’t necessarily have a lot of self-esteem because I am considered a “minority”. If you’re a person of color, if you’re a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, if you’re a person of size, if you are intellectual, if you are a person of integrity, then you are considered a “minority” in this world. And it’s going to be so hard to find messages of self love and support anywhere. Especially in today’s cultures, you have to “look” a certain way or you are considered worthless, and when you look in the mirror and think, “Oh I’m so fat, I’m so old, I’m so ugly.” Don’t you know that that’s not your authentic self? But that is billions upon billions of dollars of advertising, magazines, movies, billboards all geared to make you feel shit about yourself, so that you would take your hard earned money and spend it on some “turn around cream” that doesn’t turn around shit. When you don’t have self-esteem, you will hesitate to do anything in your life. You will hesitate to go for a job you want to go for, you will hesitate to ask for a raise, you will hesitate to call yourself an American, you will hesitate to report a rape, you will hesitate to defend yourself when you are discriminated against because of your race, your sexuality, your size, your gender, you will hesitate to vote, you will hesitate to dream. And for us to have self-esteem is truly an act of revolution, and our revolution is long overdue. I urge you all today, especially in these times of war and terrorism to love yourselves without reservation, and to love each other without restraints. Unless you’re into leather, then by all means, use restraints.”
-Margaret Cho
