From American Romances: Essays, by Rebecca BrownSUSAN SONTAG
"Why didn't she, when she finally did come out after all those years, say something such as 'I stayed in the closet for decades because if I'd come out earlier, I would have been ghettoized as lesbian and not able to do the work I wanted to do. That I can come out now without losing the respect I have earned as a thinker is partly due to the work other lesbians and gay people have been doing for decades.'"
