The above video is a light change of pace at least tonight on this blog because 1. some folks seem to think I'm a big bowl of negativity and 2. I understand their attitude to a degree. There is so much out there with Trump and the anti-LGBTQ industry that it gets tiring to spend so much time focusing on it. And I did say that from time to time, I would post things to put folks in the mode of relaxation.
Supposedly, the upcoming awards has been called the "queerest ever." That being the case, here is a comprised list of openly gay Oscar winners so far. I have three problems with it, though.
1. It failed to mention Tarell Alvin McCraney who won the 2016 Best Adapted Screenplay for 'Moonlight.'
2. The section about actors who came out after winning the Oscars was on point. It's a shame it couldn't mention the gay Oscar winners who died while never publicly coming out. And there are a LOT of those. Speaking of which, if all of the LGBTQs Oscar nominees were listed, this would have been a very long video.
3. There are no bisexual or transgender men or women on the list. And if McCraney was added, he would have been the only LGBTQ of color on the list.
But we will work on item 3.
