Gay Residents

Famous quotes containing the words gay and/or residents:

    For hym was levere have at his beddes heed,
    Twenty bookes, clad in blak or reed,
    Of Aristotle and his philosophie,
    Than robes riche, or fithele, or gay sautrie:
    But al be that he was a philosophre,
    Yet hadde he but litel gold in cofre.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340–1400)

    In most nineteenth-century cities, both large and small, more than 50 percent—and often up to 75 percent—of the residents in any given year were no longer there ten years later. People born in the twentieth century are much more likely to live near their birthplace than were people born in the nineteenth century.
    Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
