“When I was about 16, I did a Neil LaBute play called 'A Gaggle of Saints' from a collection of plays called 'Bash' - very violent story about a young Mormon who goes to Central Park with his friend and beats up a gay guy.

The world should be striving to make all its members secure.” IfsWorldShouldHandsBlackLevelsGayMembersStriveSecureParksPsychicsTaxiMenaceHolding Hands Author:Tony Kushner
“Let me speak frankly: separate but equal is a fraud. It is the language that tried to push Rosa Parks to the back of the bus.
