Dustin Lance Black on Oprah

Not literally on top of her but Lance (as he prefers) has appeared on Oprah talking about what the story of Harvey Milk did for him as a teenager and what he hopes the movie will do for other gay and lesbian kids.

    He seems like the kind of man that would be a perfect spokesperson for our community…his real-ness, his humbleness, his heart. I loved listening to him

    I agree, Dustin Lance Black has the whole package… For some reason, in the recent years, Oprah rubs me the wrong way . But, boy, DLB is just super charming - soooo much better than Sean Penn.

    That said, I also agree with some critics - in the US, the concentration on gay marriage is verging on counter-productive for the overall gay rights movement. The misrepresentation of gay marriage as the “last” gay issue/barrier is forcing other critical issues (eg. gay teens & seniors support, homophobic attacks, unequal treatment in the medical community, the international systematic homophobia and discrimination, etc.) to fall by the wayside. It whole thing feels like 2 steps forward, 1 step back…

    Anyway, leaving this on a lighter and very gay note… did you all notice DLB’s apartment??? So well decorated… and from the little bit I can see - so clean!!! I’m so impressed; I think I’m crushing… lol *blushing and scratching my head* Cheers.
