Pendapat Kaum Liberal mengenai Homosex

"These arguments among intellectuals--whether art critics or political philosophers or, say, research scientists--treat homosexuality more polemically than it deserves and, under the guise of being socially progressive, go a long way in darkening our already benighted, though deeply believed, sexual thinking. In the end, such "liberated" views continue to imprison desire in the dark cells of "gay" and "straight," rather than freeing our hearts and genitals to the fullest expression of human affection, which ought to be the unabashed ideal of any sexual liberation movement."

Darell Yates Rist, "Are Homosexuals Born that Way?" as quoted from Homosexuality : debating the issues / edited by Robert M. Baird & M. Katherine Baird. Amherst, N.Y. : Prometheus Books, 1995. p. 71-72.


"My dream was that you slept with people you liked and would not know about their sex until you undressed them."

"I'am personally for the right of happy heterrosexuals to "experiment" with same-sex love and perhaps find that they like it. I'm for the right of bisexuals to opt for gay relationships, even though they dont have the excuse that they have no other choice. And I'm for the right of gay people to choose to act on their sexuality, whether society approves of it or not." Lindsy Van Gelder, The "Born That Way" Trap, as quoted from Homosexuality : debating the issues / edited by Robert M. Baird & M. Katherine Baird. Amherst, N.Y. : Prometheus Books, 1995. p. 82.
