More quotes by Kevin Sessums
Larry [Kramer] had already experienced so much loss by then from the AIDS epidemic. But I don't think it changed anything between us.
Kevin Sessums
It's always been hard to be gay in Washington.
Kevin Sessums
I think it's a Jewish Yale custom. I wasn't aware that other people celebrated Christmas. My wife was very big on Christmas, and I was very big on my wife.

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
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.

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.

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.

I could appear in this million-word book [Larry Kramer] are working on. Nobody would even notice me.

[Calvin Trillin] was very shoe, which means he was a big jock, a big deal.
Kevin Sessums
I believe we really became friends [with Larry Kramer] when we bonded at our fifteenth class reunion in 1972.
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
[Larry Kramer] thinks Charles de Gaulle was gay. He thinks Max Schmeling was gay.
Kevin Sessums
I have never heard that referred to before, that term: Jewish men from Yale.
Kevin Sessums
To some people, knowledge and science are everything. To me, God is everything I don't know.

Shoe just meant you were a big jock on campus no matter what field you were in.

I just so desperately wanted to be published in New Yorker, and I'd so desperately try to get something in it. But I'd always get nice letters back telling me that Mr. Shawn [William Shawn, the New Yorker's editor from 1952 to 1987] just didn't like this or didn't like that about what I submitted.
