I said, "If I was a Negro girl—"
He placed his fingers across my lips so I tasted his saltiness. "We can't think of changing our skin," he said. "Change the world—that's how we gotta think."

If I'd understood this years ago, I wouldn't have hidden from my sexual identity. It is only now that I'm true to myself that I think this way… that I believe in my own power to change the world. I want homosexuals to stop hiding, to stop saying, “If I were heterosexual…” I want sexual minorities to rise up and say, “We can't change ourselves. Let's change the world.” It does happen. It has, and it will again.
