“Heterosexuality is not normal, it's just common.”

“Ava: 'Girls liking boys is normal.'Pat: 'No, it isn't. It's just common.”

“...once you've crawled into what's commonly thought of as the sordid underbelly of life, you realize it's all just different versions of normal.”

“I'm not homosexual, I'm not heterosexual, I'm just sexual.”

“...gender is a kind of imitation for which there is no original; in fact, it is a kind of imitation that produces the very notion of the original as an effect and consequence of the imitation itself...what they imitate is a phantasmic ideal of heterosexual identity...gay identities work neither to copy nor emulate heterosexuality, but rather, to expose heterosexuality as an incessant and panicked imitation of its own naturalized idealization. That heterosexuality is always in the act of elaborating itself is evidence that it is perpetually at risk, that it, that it 'knows' it's own possibility of becoming undone”

“And not that it matters, but my mother is not a lesbian! She's just a really, really bad heterosexual.”
