CURRENT MOOD
“In the case of ‘guerrilla’ that glories ‘gay’, that is to say there aren’t many gay guerrillas, I don’t feel that gaydom has, does have that strength, so therefore I use that word in hopes that they will. You see that’s why I use that word ‘guerrilla’, it means a guerrilla is someone who is in any case sacrificing his life for a point of view, and you know if there is a cause, and it is a great cause, those who belong to that cause will sacrifice their blood, because without blood there is no cause. So therefore that is the reason I use ‘gay guerrilla’ in hopes that I might be one of them, if called upon.”
Some thoughts I am thinking about as we head into this 50th anniversary of Pride.
