Rogers himself was often labeled "a sissy," or gay, in a derogatory sense. But as his longtime associate Eliot Daley put it: "Fred is one of the strongest people I have ever met in my life. So if they are saying he's gay because...thats a surrogate for saying he's weak, thats not right, because he's incredibly strong," He adds: "He wasnt a very masculine person, he wasnt a very feminine person; he was androgynous."

"If you've never had a Supreme Court case decide if you have the same rights as others, you have privilege." ~ @georgehtakei, commenting on the decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, which extended Title VII’s protections from workplace discrimination “because of … sex” to apply to LGBTQ employees.

"This landmark decision will save lives. At the Trevor Project, we hear from LGBTQ youth every day who suffer from discrimination and harassment, and our research demonstrates that those who experienced LGBTQ-based workplace discrimination were twice as likely to have attempted suicide in the past year compared to those who did not." ~ Amit Paley, CEO & Executive Director, The Trevor Project, June 2020.

Random man outside the dive bar said "You are so beautiful" to my two female friends and then followed up to me with "I'm working on my homophobia. You're beautiful too." Singlehandedly ended homophobia by being a beautiful man. ~ @philosophysux

“We’re taught in school to recite the national anthem every morning. It has this aura of promise. But as we grow older, we realise this promise is kind of a myth. What I think is really beautiful, and so inspiring, about the queer rodeo community is that it brings back that aura of promise. It embraces both ends of the American cultural spectrum: people living on the land, but who are also queer."
