Christa Winsloe
“Frau Lennartz gab Fritz eine Handvoll Scheine, und Fritz wandte sich zum Gehen. Seine Mutter strich ihm die Haare aus der Stirn, ehe sie ihn entließ. Lela gab sich alle Mühe, dass auch ihre Haare so ins Gesicht hingen, und wartete, ob dann Frau Inge, wie sie sie hatte nennen hören, auch ihr die Haare aus der Stirn streichen würde.”
Christa Winsloe, The Child Manuela

“The fact is, however, that in those early days we were not as emancipated as I would like to remember. There was discrimination although at the time few of us were aware of it. I had to unlearn what men in our society are brainwashed throughout our lives to believe, the myth that men are stud football players who bring in the money and women are supposed to stay home and wash dishes! There is sexism among gay males and lesbians just as there is sexism in the non-gay population - because we are all conceived and nurtured by a heterosexual society whose prejudices are reflected in us. We are the children.”
Troy D. Perry, Don't Be Afraid Anymore: The Story of Reverend Troy D. Perry and the Metropolitan Community Churches
