Today's
New York Times includes an
Op/Ed piece by out actor
Harvey Fierstein who finds all the hubbub over
Don Imus' bigoted remarks to be rather amusing. Says Fierstein:
Since I’m a second-class citizen — a gay man — my seats for the ballgame of American discourse are way back in the bleachers. I don’t have to wait long for a shock jock or stand-up comedian to slip up with hateful epithets aimed at me and mine. Hate speak against homosexuals is as commonplace as spam. It’s daily traffic for those who profess themselves to be regular Joes, men of God, public servants who live off my tax dollars, as well as any number of celebrities.
