- "Then there's that term 'gay'. Does that still mean all homosexual people? For some folks, as mentioned earlier, yes. For others, no. It is in reality a two-edged term. On the hand meaning all sisters and brothers, yet on the other hand sisters in the political, social, economic liberation movement, called Gay Liberation. It implies a political stand."
