A tiny Conclave (2024)

"RICHARD GOLDSTEIN: When I consider what a risk it must have been to write about homosexuality when you did...

JAMES BALDWIN: You're talking about Giovanni's Room. Yeah, that was rough. But I had to do it to clarify something for myself.

GOLDSTEIN: What was that?

BALDWIN: Where I was in the world. I mean, what I'm made of. Anyway, Giovanni's Room is not really about homosexuality. It's the vehicle through which the book moves. Go Tell It on the Mountain, for example, is not about a church, and Giovanni is not really about homosexuality. It's about what happens to you if you're afraid to love anybody. Which is much more interesting than the question of homosexuality."

Every time someone says that I can't find men hot because I'm a lesbian, I remember this scene. Gay, not blind indeed
