The “Q.UOTE” of the day in Tom Heald’s Pridelets email for May 14, 2006:

“To hear two American men congratulating each other on being
heterosexual is one of the most chilling experiences - and unique to the United

because they actually like to go to bed with women. The American is hysterical
about his manhood.” — Gore Vidal
