[1] Richard Rodriguez, "My Heterosexual Dilemma", Pacific News, 16 October 1998: "As a gay man, I do not expect other Americans -- male or female -- to approve of my sexuality. But I demand the right to be. And I refuse to be saddled with responsibility for what is wrong with male-female relations."
