More quotes by Kevin Sessums
I was raped. That was a hard thing to write about. I never owned that part of it. Guys don't look at themselves as being raped. We're not raised that way.
Kevin Sessums
One thing I learned in sobriety is to stop being judgmental, to always be discerning. When I drive, that will be my bumper sticker.
Kevin Sessums
I find myself applying the addict's impulse to how I cruise. I don't look at the ass. If I see a hot guy walking towards me I look at his arm, and if he has a vein I fantasize about shooting up with him.
Kevin Sessums
Hollywood needs peripheral people like me. You're not of that world, but you're needed.
Kevin Sessums
I think I just felt a sadness at some points in my career that what is available to a straight writer is not available to a gay writer.
Kevin Sessums
I don't think everybody's gay. But I think a lot more people are than the world knows about.

If someone had come up to me at Yale and asked me how many homosexuals there were in my class, I would have said I don't think there are any. There may have been a few who were shy with girls. You have to understand, this was the 1950s.
Kevin Sessums
David Remnick [the New Yorker's editor in chief]is about as interested in anything gay as I am interested in anything to do with baseball. It drives me nuts.
Kevin Sessums
To some people, knowledge and science are everything. To me, God is everything I don't know.
Kevin Sessums
I was not shoe. That's a misuse of the term shoe, which is derived from white shoe.
Kevin Sessums
I was raped: I said no and he wouldn't stop. I also had a scar on my back and blood coming out of my ass. To some that's just rough sex. Some would read that sentence and be turned on by that: the 51st Shade of Gay.
Kevin Sessums
The first time I remember our being socially in the same place was after we graduated and [author, investment counselor, philanthropist, and fellow 1950s Yalie] Peter Wolf had a party at his house in the Hamptons.
Kevin Sessums
Weenie was definitely a word we used at Yale back then. But I'm not sure you were one, Larry [Kramer]. Also, you were going by a different name.
Kevin Sessums
Is it easier for you to have straight friends, Larry [Kramer], since you seem so often disappointed in your gay friends who can't live up to what you expect of them as gay people?
Kevin Sessums
[Larry Kramer] thinks Charles de Gaulle was gay. He thinks Max Schmeling was gay.
Kevin Sessums
I wasn't a [gay] activist, really.
