| So why didn't you mention La Cage? It's as gay as it gets and pretty happy ending and huge success with 2 revivals. La Cage is mostly about stereotype. Those annoyingly bitchy Cagelles do nothing but play into everything that bigoted/ignorant straight people think gay men are. Having Georges be the only "straight acting" homosexual character is pretty much as bad as having a token person of color in the cast. I admit it - I truly despise the show, aside from the few of the Herman songs that rise above the general mediocrity. It's not his best score by far, and it's an awful, awful book. |

| Looking for a happy ending in an art work about minorities is false to begin with. Many potent, artful stories end with losses. Losses often make stories interesting, no matter whether the main character is a man (not a woman), an intellectual (not a working person), a member of a sexual minority or not. And I write this as a gay man. | |
