    20 quotes that celebrate LGBT love

    After all, Love Is Love right?

    (C) BIGSTOCK

    Whether you’re homo, bi, pan, trans, ace or another of our beautiful community, we all deserve love. Here are five of our absolute favourite quotes about love.

    Some of these quotes may not have been said directly about same-sex loving, but we think their message transcends gender or biological sex or sexuality.

    “Being gay is natural. Hating gay is a lifestyle choice.” – John Fugelsang

    “Don’t hide behind the Constitution or the Bible. If you’re against gay marriage, just be honest, put a scarlet ‘H’ on your shirt, and say, “I am a homophobe!” – Henry Rollins

  • 16 quotes that prove First Wives Club is the campest film ever

    I had guests…

    Back in the mid-90ss, 1996 to be precise, three of our favourite divas (and a whole host of others) got together to create the gayest film on earth – the First Wives Club… Here are just some of the quotes that made the film epic.

    Elise on Plastic Surgery

    “Plastic surgery is like good grooming, it’s like brushing your teeth.”

     Elise on the best decade ever…

    “It’s the 90’s, for God’s sake”

     Elise on ageing

    Morris: You’re 45! If I give you one more facelift, you’re going to be able to blink your lips. I mean, don’t you want to be able to play a part your own age?

    Elise:”My own age?” No no. You don’t understand. There are only three ages for women in Hollywood; “Babe”, “District Attorney”, and “Driving Ms. Daisy.” And right now, I want to be young. Science-fiction young.

    Brenda on Elise’s Plastic Surgery

    “Honey she’s quilt”

    Doctor Packman on Elise’s lips

    If I give you one more face lift you’re going to be able to blink your lips!

    Brenda on Elise’s drinking?

    Let’s examine the evidence… (empties out a huge amount of empty bottles of booze)

    “I had guest”

    “Who? Gun N’ Roses?”

     

    Brenda on Elise’s drinking

    Elise: I drink because I am a sensitive and highly strung person.

    Brenda: No, that’s why your co-stars drink.

     

    Elise on being an actor

    You think that because I’m a movie star I don’t have feelings. Well you’re wrong. I’m an actress. I’ve got all of them!

    Sometimes it wasn’t even the quotes that were iconic…

    It was the looks…

     

    There was even a Trump moment… who reminded us not to get mad…

    via GIPHY

    “Ladies, you have to be strong and independent, and remember, don’t get mad, get everything”.

     

    Elise has a fan

    via GIPHY

    “Hi, I’m Phoebe. I’ve seen all your movies and I want to be just like you. Only, me!”

     

    New girlfriend Shelly meets ex-wife

    “Make it go away”

    Brenda is not happy that Shelly comes to her son’s Bar Mitzvah…

    Brenda: He brought her to our son’s bar mitzvah?

    Annie: Is she a gift?

     

    Brenda gets her accounting wings

    “Wake up and smell the audit!”

    Annie coming to terms with her lesbian daughter

    “Lesbians are great now-a-days”

    Annie’s super break out moment…

    “Come on Annie hit me”

    Basically if you’ve not seen it… BUY IT

  • Six quotes that made Harvey Milk Great

    Six quotes that made Harvey Milk Great

    Harvey Milk would have been 83 years old if Dan White hadn’t killed him in 1978. Today Harvey Milk Day is celebrated to remind us all how incredible his achievements were and to give all LGBT people around the world Hope.

    (C) BIGSTOCK

    “It takes no compromise to give people their rights…it takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give people freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression.” – Harvey Milk

    “If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.” – Harvey Milk

    From a tape recording he made when he predicted his assassination:

    “All young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential.” – Harvey Milk

    On the rights of the young:

    “Hope will never be silent.” – Harvey Milk

    “The only thing they have to look forward to is hope. And you have to give them hope. Hope for a better world, hope for a better tomorrow, hope for a better place to come to if the pressures at home are too great. Hope that all will be all right. Without hope, not only gays, but the blacks, the seniors, the handicapped, the us’es, the us’es will give up. And if you help elect to the central committee and other offices, more gay people, that gives a green light to all who feel disenfranchised, a green light to move forward. It means hope to a nation that has given up, because if a gay person makes it, the doors are open to everyone.” – Harvey Milk

    Tape recorded, said in the last year of his life.

    “All men are created equal. No matter how hard they try, they can never erase those words. That is what America is about.” – Harvey Milk
