American homosexuality is a waste primarily because, if people were not so frightened of it -- if it wouldn't, you know -- it really would cease in effect, as it exists in this country now, to exist. I mean the same way the Negro problem would disappear. People wouldn't have to spend so much time being defensive -- if they weren't endlessly being condemned.
