    Broadway’s Max von Essen (currently in Evita) took to Facebook today to ask “why” an old friend had “liked” Mitt Romney’s Facebook page. His full letter is below and it is a heartbreaking read. It is also very dear to me because of my 406 “friends”, four of them like Mitt Romney’s official Facebook page…

  • Changing Attitudes toward the LGBT Community in America

    Not that any of my friends feel this way, but I’ve seen comments on various threads lately saying things like “I support Chik-fil-A because, like most Americans, I don’t like gay marriage either.” To those ignorant fools I say, believe what you will, but according to a recent study sponsored by CNN and conducted by…
