Dennis Altman Quotes

• No existe un concepto de desviación libre de valores; decir que los homosexuales son desviados porque son una minoría estadística es, en la práctica, estigmatizarlos. Las monjas rara vez son consideradas desviadas por la misma razón, aunque si obedecen sus votos es evidente que difieren de forma muy significativa de la gran mayoría de la gente.

• Both the Moral Majority, who are recycling medieval language to explain AIDS, and those ultra-leftists who attribute AIDS to some sort of conspiracy, have a clearly political analysis of the epidemic. But even if one attributes its cause to a microorganism rather than the wrath of God, or the workings of the CIA, it is clear that the way in which AIDS has been perceived, conceptualized, imagined, researched and financed makes this the most political of diseases.

• Human beings are distinguished by a capacity for experience as well as by their behavior, and homosexuality is as much a matter ofemotion as of genital manipulation.... As we each examine our own sense of identity we realize how much more complex is the question of homosexuality than a mere Kinsey-like computation of orgasms.
