Ezra Furman Quotes

Look, a lot of people don't think that the way that I live my life is a real thing, that it exists, that having a broad spectrum of sexual orientation is even possible.

Lots of my writing can be accurately called lesbian, but I myself am queer and date people of all genders.

What's great about being gay is that you can celebrate all types of sexualities, because we understand that being queer means you might also be gender nonconforming or bi or whatever.

I've been thinking a lot about my relationship to my own queerness, and I think the word pansexual speaks to me more than bi does.

I'm queer - and queer, to me, is not being stuck in a binary and being kind of fluid.

You can't just put gay in a little gay box anymore.

These names: gay, queer, homosexual are limiting. I would love to finish with them. We're going to have to decide which terms to use and where we use them. For me to use the word 'queer' is a liberation; it was a word that frightened me, but no longer.

I'm not a lesbian. I just think that all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes.

All identity labels are umbrella terms to some degree, but this term 'bisexual' is not only serviceable, but it is sufficient. And yes, it brings together a bunch of people who are maybe shades different from one another. And maybe that's the beauty of labels: that they force you to be with other people and see the difference.

What was so interesting about the glam era was that it was about bisexuality and breaking down the boundaries between gays and straights, breaking down the boundaries between masculinity and femininity with this androgyny thing.

It's really great to see the queer landscape really change to include everybody and make the rest of the world understand that we're not just one or two things. There's so much about the queer community that needs to be represented.

I identify as a gay man all the time, but I also like to identify as queer.

Many human beings enjoy sexual relations with their own sex; many don't; many respond to both. This plurality is part of our nature and not worth fretting about.

The time has come, I think, when we must recognize bisexuality as a normal form of human behavior.

I consider myself a lesbian, but I'm a bisexual lesbian.

If I hadn't been born a woman, I would have certainly been gay.

I'm a straight guy and I date women, but I get on really well with gay guys. I'm very comfortable with my sexuality. The weirdest thing for me is when straight guys get really freaked out by gay guys. It's almost like they're insecure in their own sexuality. For me, I can be in a room full of gay men and have fun.

I have been very clear to everybody that just because I'm getting married does not mean I call myself a straight.

My sexuality is a part of me that I really like. But it's not the totality of me.

Well, actually, I'm a bisexual lesbian in a man's body... but it's more complicated than that.

I'm homosexual... How and why are idle questions. It's a little like wanting to know why my eyes are green.
