    • 1974 February 2, John Collis, Guy Hocquenghem, Joe Interrante, Mike Riegle, Charley Shively, Raphael Shively, Lionel Soukaz, “The Homosexual Century: In Search of Gay Memory”, in Gay Community News, volume 1, number 32, page 8:
      There is a new contradiction inside the gay community, which is that it's becoming more 'modalized', to use a technical term. I'm referring to the clone system, or any kind of system like it.
