“Yet while ours is a society where mass murder and violence are perfectly ordinary and their expression in the most popular novels and comic books is accepted with aplomb, any love between two people which does not conform is attacked.”

Gore Vidal, United States-Essays, 1952-1992 (New York: Random House, 1993). 18-19
