“When I first came up, the whole AIDS epidemic was starting, and the gay community that I experienced from the beginning of my career was mostly - and overwhelmingly - concerned with staying alive. And, also, I felt really aware of the preciousness of life and time. The gay community and people who were HIV-positive were treated so badly, and I was very disturbed by things. But I also saw a lot of love and connection in the gay community at that time.” PeopleFirstsWholeFeltCommunityCareersSawsAliveGayConcernedConnectionsStartingAidsTreatedStayingDisturbedHivEpidemicsStaying AliveLife And TimeGay CommunityHiv PositiveAids Epidemic Author:Madonna Ciccone
“The core of America is not racist. It is not hostile to women. It is increasingly offended by gay bashing. Yet it abhors government waste. It believes strongly in fiscal responsibility such as balanced budgets. It is pro-economic growth. It is concerned about the environment. It is intolerant of people on welfare who disdain the notion of work. But it wants poor kids to have school lunches and it wants to spend money to have good schools. In sum, most Americans are sensible, good-hearted, and prudent. The issue, then, is whether there is a political party that can welcome them home.” PeopleWantBelieveHomeGovernmentKidsSchoolAmericaPoliticalGrowthPoorPartyResponsibilityIssuesEnvironmentEconomicGayWasteConcernedNotionCoreWelcomeBudgetsWelfareRacistLunchSensibleBalancedHostilePolitical PartiesOffendedHeartedEconomic GrowthPrudentDisdainGood SchoolGood HeartedBalanced BudgetFiscal ResponsibilitySchool LunchGovernment Waste Author:Paul Tsongas

“In the "Absolutely Fabulous" show, it's a fairly dysfunctional family, but they're not women who are constantly in search of a man. They don't live conventionally, they don't live in a conventional heterosexual relationship. Edina wishes all her children were gay, because as far as she's concerned it's the most glamorous most interesting thing to be.

“I don't think that on a daily basis, people need to be so concerned with others think. When someone comes forward and is an individual, such as a Lady Gaga or a Katy Perry, people respond to them because there is that sense of innocence. It's obviously dress up and theatre. I never lost that I think part of that is growing up gay and part is growing up overweight. You never lose that, and I never want to lose touch with that whimsy, that sense of innocence. I also love the reaction it elicits in people. I like that it makes other people happy.” PeopleThinkingIndividualGrowing UpGayConcernedTheatreInnocenceOverweight Author:Brad Goreski
