As a gay man of 50, I find I am not nearly so quick to label bigotry as "hate speech". I have been reading John Simon for over thirty years and was aware of a distaste for most (if not all) things rainbow, but I never felt an impulse to silence him or demand his resignation. I think there are bigger fish to fry that make a difference across far greater canvasses than the New York theatre review-reading world. His is the opinion of an educated but egregiously dogmatic Eastern European who has refused to change his principles in the belief that it would diminish the whole point of having had them in the first place. He's of another era and the most effective action one could take would be to ignore him.
