... and that's really really sad.
I made a reference to the documentary film (based on the book) in my OP; it's a stunning bit of research work.
Meanwhile, much HAS changed in TV and Film. Although the actual NUMBER of representative LGBT characters in TV and Films is still far too low, we are finally seeing nuanced, transformative, full-fledged characters in a number of very successful TV shows and films. "Transparent" has won Emmys, "Moonlight" won the Oscar, and from "Six Feet Under" to "Sense 8" to "Empire," we're seeing LGBT characters whose lives take on added dynamics within their storylines.
We need to bring the creative freshness to Broadway, which, hilariously, is starting to feel like a big old ship that won't turn around quickly.
