Hello! The world is a mess!

I am not proud to be gay any more than I am proud to be right handed or to breathe oxygen.

Dealing with Hollywood and commercial entertainment, you always have to worry that the political message is going to be skewed or obscured.

Marches work, rallies work, civil disobedience works, direct action works, voting works, writing letters works, speaking to churches and schools works, rioting works.

I go back to the parallels with 1963, 1964 when white America really became aware of the brutality of segregation, the cruelty of the apartheid system which existed in the south. Then white people began to get on the freedom buses and travel to the south and be part of the voter registration drives and they... some of them were beaten and some of them were murdered but they stood with the African-American community and the civil rights movement. It's time for straight people to do that today and it is time for gay people to insist that they do that today.

Everybody will always find some way of diminishing your work, but it's all a lie!

The whole function of cities has been transformed.
