Quotes

Dick Armey: “Barney Fag”, 1995

During a 1995 radio interview, Dick Armey of Texas, the Republican Majority leader, discussed a book that he had written about freedom: "I like peace and quiet, and I don't have to listen to Barney Fag -- Barney Frank -- haranguing in my ear because I made a few bucks off a book I worked on."[1]


James Baldwin, date unknown

"Everybody's journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality."[2]


Barney Frank: "Miss America", 2008?

Asking the Republican White House to support more government intervention to help homeowners at risk of foreclosure is "like asking me to judge the Miss America contest -- if your heart's not in it, you don't do a very good job."[3]


Diamanda Galas, date unknown

I think God is a callous bitch not making me a lesbian. I'm deeply disappointed by my sexual interest in men.[4]
