If we need to repeat that there is no difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals, that both are divisible into rich and poor, male and female, good and bad, then this is precisely because there is a distance, because there is a repeated unsuccessful effort to draw homosexuality back into normality, an unsurmountable chasm which keeps opening up. Homosexuality exists and does not exist, at one and the same time: indeed, it’s very mode of existence questions again and again the certainty of existence.

Guy Hocquenghem (1946 - 1988)

Considered the father of Queer Theory very little of his work has been translated from his native french. Hard reading, but I’m enjoying it.
