...heart disease, also deserve the serious attention of the government. However, with limited funds, any nation must take decisions about how best to spend them. The question of whether to spend sparse resources on AIDS research or an cancer research should not be decided with the gaze of homophobia and moral intolerance...
...that concept any more preposterous than denying homosexuals their right to join with someone they love? Through all the jargon, the only reason homosexual marriages will not be recognized is that America is intensely homophobic.

...many overlapping figures, such as historian Richard Dyer, author Gore Vidal, and screenwriter Paul Rudnick. The heterosexual actors, for the most part, don't come off as well. Whoopi Goldberg and Sarandon radiate satisfaction with their own openmindedness, Hanks seems fairly happy-go-lucky both about his youthful homophobia and his recent embrace of a more sensitive persona. Harry Hamlin seems more perceptive than most, admitting his own tendency to question the sexuality of an actor playing a gay role...
