I am more than just a label. Why are people so driven to labeling where we fall on the sexual spectrum? Labels put people in boxes, and those boxes are shaped like coffins. Finding the right person can be so hard that often, when a person finally finds someone she or he is comfortable with, she or he just makes it work. Chirlane McCray
I do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation. I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended. Dr. Ben Carson
I never want to get to the place where I’m so high and mighty I feel like I did it all, because I know I didn’t do it all. Tamela Mann

Women must begin to write more truthfully about the profound mystery of sex. I think that race is also a mystery. Which is to say that neither can be fully comprehended except as deeply mysterious expressions through which we can learn profound lessons about life. It is almost impossible not to learn something about yourself in the sexual act. So it's important for women to be alert to the spiritual growth and self-discovery they can attain by paying close attention to their sexuality. Alice Walker
As saints, we are nothing more than sinners who fell down, but then got back up again by the power and forgiveness of God. Donnie McClurkin
I'm my greatest teacher and within me I have the power to push myself deeper and higher. Lorraine Toussaint
If other people try to tell you what’s acceptable when its comes to your sexuality, you have to call bullshit; last I checked, the only person my vagina was attached to was me, so anyone else’s opinions about that are unnecessary, uninvited and unwarranted. Gabrielle Union

My mom has always taught me and my siblings the Word, and I don’t know what I would do without my faith and strong beliefs. Gabrielle Douglas
You have to have the faith to know that God has got you and the patience to let him do his thing. Vanessa Bell Calloway
Not everyone is comfortable with multiple partners or casual sex and that’s okay; it doesn’t make you a saint or me a sinner. Gabrielle Union
I think honestly, some people who think they're gay, they're confused. People can misconstrue closeness for love. People can feel connected, they bond. I'm not saying all [gay people are confused]. Some people have a desire to be with the same sex. But that's them. Stevie Wonder
