＂While I publish in gay places, I don’t make a big issue of it, not out of shame, but because I refuse to internalize the ghetto the rightwing wants to put us all in. I’m a human being first, and I know I have gifts to share with the whole society as human and as an individual, regardless of the bigots. Paradoxically, that makes me proud to have my work in a special gay issue of such a fine publication as Chiron Review precisely because you don’t concentrate on the gay voice but on the range of human voices, some of which happen to be gay. With that context, to do a gay issue is a brave and life-getting event. Those who say ’we’ can’t generate life err in thinking that getting children is the only way to ’get’ life. Every sharing of love, concern, inspiration, risk, hope, and joy - gets us more alive, and that deepens the life-resonances among all humankind. If we’re genuine individuals, we do not have to be defensive for loving our own kind, especially if we can relate with others with deep respect.＂ - Will Inman, 1992
