  "...the great weapon is boredom. Once the public gets bored with homosexuality then freedom will be here."       words of wisdom.  This man was an amazing pioneer.

  All the people that abused Quentin in the streets and in public and private are forgotten. They mean nothing to this world. But he made history and will be remembered and respected and loved and spoken about in history for many hundreds of years from now ❤

  We're talking about a man who wore mascara and dyed his hair crimson in 1930s England - now THAT'S courage, folks.

  A fluent educated speaker. Not one 'eh' or 'umh'. I could listen to him all day.

  Beautiful, Quentin in his prime, the first flush of his international fame. I was so lucky to meet and talk with him several times and I can assure you, he was exactly as he appears in this interview, gentle and witty and kind.
