Gore Vidal Quotes

There's straight people, and there's super gay people, and then there's everybody in between, and everybody is a little bit of something because sexuality is fluid.

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

Not everybody is either gay or straight.

Sexuality, and sexual orientation - regardless of orientation - is just natural. An act of sex is one of the most human things.

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.

What is new is not bisexuality, but rather the widening of our awareness and acceptance of human capacities for sexual love.

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 am not bisexual. I am not gay. I have never had sex with men.

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

A lot of what used to be known as gay culture - broadly speaking, homoeroticism and being camp - has been brought into mainstream culture. I think we should be moving to an era where it's just sex.

Valentino was apparently gay or bisexual. And his two lesbian wives. But without any question, he had sex with men. From choice. So he was one or the other.

There is a large group that's not represented on television - the group that falls somewhere in the middle of straight and gay. That group is looked down on, because people say, 'You can't be in-between. You have to pick one or the other.'

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

Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. Not all things are black nor all things white. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories. Only the human mind invents categories and tries to force facts into separated pigeon-holes. The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects. The sooner we learn this concerning human sexual behavior, the sooner we shall reach a sound understanding of the realities of sex.

I mean, come on: At the end of the day, we're all bisexual. A hundred years from now, there's not gonna be gay or straight. There's gonna be everything.

You love who you love, and I can't help that I like guys.

I identify as queer. I just don't know what any of these labels mean.

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.

Learning that someone is gay, queer, trans, doesn't tell you much by itself. They could be any kind of person aside from that particular slice of identity.

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

I came to realize, along with being attracted to girls, I had similar feelings for boys.

I think rigid heterosexuality is a perversion of nature.

I’m sure you gathered this by now: I just do what I want. Have I made out with chicks? Hell yeah. Did I think it was awesome? Hell yeah. I wouldn’t call myself bi. Like, if I didn’t eat meat for a week, it doesn’t make me a vegetarian. So I like people, and that’s just it. I like people.

I do not in the least underestimate bisexuality... I expect it to provide all further enlightenment.
