Quotes by Edgar Gomez (?)

“Some people played “What would you do if there was a zombie outbreak?” I played “Where would you go if it became illegal to be gay?”

“I read once that in the thousands of years it takes their light to reach Earth, many of the stars we see scattered across the sky have already burned out. Turning our eyes to them, then, is like traveling back in time to when something gorgeous still existed.”
― Edgar Gomez, High-Risk Homosexual
