Protest 'thought provoking' play
Why is it controversial plays about gay or lesbian characters are never about "homosexuality" or the "homosexual lifestyle" but always about the "human" condition?
Why would someone directing a play bother to say that it was "just fiction"? Can't fiction do damage? Consider the Bible, for instance! Hoopes feels obliged to mention she "is not one of them." Yes, what can she say?
Nope, she was not one of them there lesbians....
How quaint.
Things have changed for the better in the arts.
