“I’m not a big Pride person. In my opinion, Pride equals consumerism and conformity. I’m much more into the idea of gay shame, militant rebellion, and resistance to assimilation. Since I live in the middle of the old, gay Greenwich Village and right above a raunchy lesbian bar, Henrietta Hudson, I’ll probably try to escape the city altogether, just like I did in previous years. What can be better than celebrating Pride out in nature? Maybe I’ll even put on my pink thong to show to the neighbors how extra proud (or ashamed) I am!” – Slava Mogutin

I spent a decade talking to famous people about love, sex, and what it means to be human; and I carry around so much of what folks shared with me back then, to this day.

“Relationship is a great word for the interconnectivity of all things. My relationship to the Earth is precious to me, as well as to the animals, to my fellow humans, and to the elements that bring life to the planet. My relationship to my family and to the communities that hold me up gives me joy every day. Each spirit is unique and intertwined; being in relation to all beings in all the universes is a truth that sustains me. This is love. I learned that love can be unconditional and everlasting, however it shifts shape.“ – Daniel Sea
