The Money When You're Having A Hit

Of Course, I Have A Different Vested Interest In The Gay Community, Because I Am Gay, And I Would Certainly Enjoy The Tax Advantages That Straight People Have, And The Inheritance Advantages, And Things Like Social Security, But I've Always Been A Civil Rights Advocate Across The Board. That's How I Was Raised.

I Think These Last 10 Years Have Seen Just A Huge Shift In The Psyche Of This Country As Regards Gay People. I Think Aids Had A Lot To Do With It. So Many Families Who Really Believed They'd 'never Met One' Were Suddenly Confronted With Their Sons Becoming Ill, And Friends Of Sons. I Think That Brought A Lot Of It Into The Open.

I've Always Been An Avid Reader. If I Don't Have A Book In The Car, I'll Stop And Pick One Up Just To Have Something To Read. I Don't Even Remember Learning To Read.

I Was One Of I Think Three White Girls In My School. So, I Was Very Much An Outsider. And Plus I Was Jewish And All Of My Friends Were Black And Baptist Because They Listen To The Coolest Music. We Were All Listening To Ray Charles And What Was Then Called Race Music.

It's Neat To Have Finally Reached A Point Where I Can Accept What I Was And What I Am.
