"It is an inevitable psychic gap, a feeling of embarrassment, a taste of systematic cheating: a homosexual who has not been publicly declared and therefore doesn't give a damn about Catholic sexual morality, who has never expressed anything against the clerical-based homophobia that plagues his country , who never once took an open position for the trampled rights of his fellow citizens of political, civil and racial misfortune, a guy like that who, for example, writes and sings his love for a woman comes first (due to mediocrity of character, deliberate hypocrisy, love of a quiet life at the expense of those who fight for his own rights which he first denied) of the beauty or ugliness of his dedication improperly set to music. You don't see the homage to women, you see the ridiculous falsity and the aesthetic necessity for third parties that underlies it."
