“I become the gay man I am, not by expressing any innate desire (that’s homosexuality), but by joining a particular culture, by learning a particular language. I’ve always thought the phrase should be ‘going in,’ not ‘coming out.’ At whatever point or points we choose, we enter a gay culture which already exists, and in joining that culture we find ourselves amidst a variety of styles which our gay peers offer to us and demand from us. … More and more I actually think the phrase 'being gay’ means 'doing gay things’ — and for me, drag is one of them. It makes me feel gay. That is, when I put on that frock, I enter into a wealth of specifically gay feelings, gay games, gay possibilities.”

Neil Bartlett on drag, The Body Politic No. 116, July 1985 >

“The American theater is ruled by an extraordinary, irrepressible zest for intellectual simplification. Every idea is reducible to a cliché, and the function of a cliché is to castrate an idea. Now, intellectual simplification has its uses, its value. It is, for example, absolutely indispensable to comedy. But it is inimical to the serious.”

— Susan Sontag, “Going to Theater, etc.”
