"I was in the shower [at the
Beverly Hills Gym in 1982], butt-naked and soaped up from
head to toe [when John Travolta walked in and introduced
himself.] I asked him if he was looking for the manager.
'No,' he said, 'I'm looking for you.'... Out at his
ranch, he had a whole collection of my videos and
magazines, just the straight stuff. ... We went to dinner
together publicly once in a while but mostly we stayed at
his ranch or at my place. It was understood that the
whole basis of our relationship was strictly the
sex."
- Porn actor and director Paul Barresi to Boston's The
Guide, March issue. Barresi said he and Travolta had a
falling out in 1990, after which Barresi sold his story
of the relationship to The National Enquirer for
$100,000.
"As far as coming out, I never
really did that exactly; I just went along with the time.
I never pulled an Ellen in announcing 'I'm gay!' At every
opening night, I just quietly brought a boyfriend on my
arm."
- Veteran theater composer/songwriter Jerry Herman
to Art & Understanding, February issue.
"I love it. It is the
celebration of the flesh, something that is not done in

has found true love with Nickelodeon TV executive Kelli
Carpenter - and they've even exchanged rings to show
their deep commitment to each other."

"In the '50s and '60s, gay men
seemed to despise one another. The idea of hanging out
with another gay man was just not something you
did."
- Author Edmund White to Atlanta's Etcetera
magazine, March 6.
"The Bible makes us
bigoted."
- Iowa anti-gay activist Bill Horn, as quoted in the
Des Moines Register, March 12.
