This is the book people have been waiting for... It is a collection of quotations by gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people. Some are no longer with us, others are very much alive and well. From Boy George to Oscar Wilde and from Sappho to Martina Navratilova the collection includes some quotations from performers, writers, sportsmen (and women), politicians, comedians, about being gay. The book will make the perfect present for that gay or lesbian friend, or better still for yourself! Whether you leave it beside the bed or in the bathroom you'll enjoy reading and pondering over the quotations from some the GLBT Movement's leading icons. Some of the quotations are serious and profound, others funny and frivolous. All the quotations come from people who are themselves gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Enjoy!
