"Exactly Straight women who surround themselves only with gay men or white people who refuse any other race into their circles are unhealthy and it has more to do with one's individual fear and individual closets"

This quote by Judith Light talks to the idea that individuals who only surround themselves with individuals who resemble them, whether it remain in regards to sexuality, race, or other factors, are not living a healthy lifestyle. This is because it is indicative of an individual's worry of the unknown and their unwillingness to open themselves as much as various viewpoints. It is very important to recognize that variety is a strength and that by surrounding ourselves with people who are various from us, we can learn and grow in manner ins which we would not be able to if we only surrounded ourselves with people who are similar to us.
