    The Celluloid Closet quotes

    • Harvey Fierstein: Every time I watched a straight scene I had to do this massive translation for myself. Then I did Torch Song Trilogy. I get these straight people saying to me 'you know, it's not really gay, it's universal'. I say 'up yours, it's gay'. That you can take it and apply it to yourself is wonderful, but at last I don't have to do the translating, you do.

    • Harvey Fierstein: I liked the sissy. Is it used in negative ways? Yeah, but, my view has always been visibility at any cost. I'd rather have negative than nothing.
