“Blaming some deity for your own hate seems pretty messed up to me.”
Laurent Linn, Draw the Line

“And they don't know me. To them, I'm just categories and clichés, too. The geek. The gay boy. The wimp. Even though I screamed at Doug in front of everyday at Boo, what have I done since then that anyone knows about? I'm happily a geek and happily gay, but I'm no longer a wimp.”
