Click me! ____________________________________________________________ _ Lea DeLaria Quotes "What do you mean you don't believe in homosexuality? It's not like the Easter Bunny. Your belief isn't necessary." "I can't discriminate? Oh, that's ripe, coming from a straight white man. What's the matter, baby doesn't feel like he belongs? Well why don't you try a place that was set up just for you? Like the world!" "As a standup, I try to change the world. As an entertainer, I try to entertain. And as a lesbian, I try to pick up the prettiest girl in the room." "It's a cosmic joke that I'm a lesbian, because I understand men so well but women are a complete mystery to me." "A woman will allow herself to be clouded by her emotions. Her reasonable thought becomes completely unreasonable over the most ridiculous thing. It's a girl thing." "No one has the responsibility to be out to anyone but himself or herself. I made my choice a million years ago." "I tend to like very bitchy women. I find myself most attracted to smart, sarcastic, bitchy women." "Straight girls like me. They flirt with me to get whatever they want. Of course it works." "Now everyone's decided that all lesbians wear lipstick!" "They are preserving the sanctity of marriage, so that two gay men who've been together for twenty-five years can't get married, but a guy can still get drunk in Vegas and marry a hooker at the Elvis chapel! The sanctity of marriage is saved!" ____________________________________________________________ _ Lea DeLaria Video ClipsCheck out Lea in the short film by Richard Currier, Become A Big Hairy Dyke.
