You're right. Gays are slowing creeping into every aspect of entertainment. I have a story like this...Back in the 80's I was hired to be the Assistant to the Producers who were putting on a TRIBUTE TO ISRAEL'S 40th Anniversary. It was going to be at Carnegie Hall and it was going to be a BIG ONE. Unfortunately, the organizers hired some gay guys out of Hollywood to Produce it. They went after hiring entertainers that had NOTHING to do with Jews, especially the kind of rich old Jews who had the money to attend these things. I pleaded with them to stick with Don Rickles, Milton Berle, etc. But they wanted people like Patti LaBelle, etc. The thing fell apart and was cancelled. YOU MUST KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE. Gay people, and this is just something I have observed, truly think everyone sees things through their lense. It was very sad and very costly.

Wow. Are you dull? Gays have been a MAJOR part of the entertainment industry since Rock Hudson and Lee Liberace!

Just more in-your-face now.
