I have finally figured out that the purpose of life is to enjoy it.

I don't want to die. I think death is a greatly overrated experience.
Rita Mae Brown

I don't think there is a 'gay lifestyle.' I think that's superficial crap, all that talk about gay culture. A couple of restaurants on Castro Street and a couple of magazines do not constitute culture. Michelangelo is culture. Virginia Woolf is culture. So let's don't confuse our terms. Wearing earrings is not culture.
