Hmmm, according to Викицитатник, Faina Ranevskaya was also the originator of the quip: "Гомосексуализм — это не извращение. Извращение — это хоккей на траве и балет на льду!"

Which reminds me a little bit of an old Simpsons quote -- after gay director John Waters rescues Homer from a herd of angry reindeer at the very last minute, Homer says:

"It's a miracle!"

And John Waters replies:

"No, Ultrasuede™ is a miracle -- this was just good timing."

P.S. Don't ask me to explain why the phrase "Ultrasuede is a miracle!" is so totally hilarious... it just is. (But it helps if you grew up in an English-speaking country sometime between the 1950s and 1980s.)
