HomoQuotable - Max Mutchnick

"I'm depressed. Why is this the voice speaking for me?
"I know there were many types of interesting, smart people on the parade route showing their support. But guess what, guys and gals? None of you have a loud enough, strong enough or powerful enough voice to be heard over the thumping techno backbeat of the big gay parade. This is a huge problem. Sad, but true. The mainstream media still has no better choice but to showcase the extremes of gay life. I mean, imagine if we used the Mardi Gras as the singular way we'd depict straight folk. The public would be lead to believe that all men wear jock straps on their heads and all women like to do is show us their tits. So you understand my pain when I see one of the "usual suspects" on the news? Is he supposed to be my leader? He's not my leader!" - Will & Grace creator Max Mutchnick, from his HuffPo column titled Where Is My Martin Luther Queen? Tomorrow: The annual reposting of my essay in opposition to this type of thinking.
