There's no sin in loving men. Only pain!
— Ally McBeal • 1997
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker insists that loving men brings pain rather than sin. The emphatic contrast separates moral judgement from emotional suffering: a feeling may hurt without being wrong. The line combines a defence of love with a bitter acknowledgement of the unhappiness that can accompany it.
