GLBTQA Ohio

The queer people are those who don't love anybody.

About Me

This group is here to help the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, Questioning people and their allies to find eachother in this big state of Ohio. Allies have been added for 2 reasons: 1)We need all the friends we can get- especially in an election year! (Let's get Bush out of his self-appointed office.) AND 2)If you wish it were only GLBTQ here because you want to meet someone special and are afraid of hitting on an Ally- don't be! They don't mind getting hit on... they take it as the flattery it is ;) *Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands? ~ Ernest Gaines *When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one. ~ From the tombstone of a gay Vietnam veteran *If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can't work today, still queer." ~ Robin Tyler *The radical right is so homophobic that they're blaming global warming on the AIDS quilt. ~ Dennis Miller *War. Rape. Murder. Poverty. Equal rights for gays. Guess which one the Southern Baptist Convention is protesting? ~ The Value of Families *My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity. All those women out there praying for a man, and I'm giving them my share. ~Rita Mae Brown *If male homosexuals are called "gay," then female homosexuals should be called "ecstatic." ~ Shelly Roberts
