lot of gay people think, 'I was just automatically gay. There was no decision involved,' but that's not really true. They've made their first big decision by just saying, 'I'm going to live a gay life.' And if they can make that kind of move it's an indication that the potential exists for something more. Now, a lot of them don't ever do anything about it because it's just as easy to get lost in this gay world as it is in the straight world. But if somebody really wants something different they can really do it on an independent, searching basis through being homosexual. —Tom Rauffenbart, The Ninth Street Center Journal, Vol. 2, 1974"
