Original subtitles

Now, welcome these guests.

Come on in here, friend.

What are you... Thank you.

These young men have just, this audience has just seen your

film.

Priscilla, did you like it?

The

Adventures

of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Three guys in drag on a bus.

We're a long way from Mickey Rooney and Judy

Garland. You're putting on a show, essentially.

Look how thrilled you are to be here, Hugo.

You are heterosexual actors who have presented yourselves to

a movie in which you are all playing gay men who...

Our drag queens.

You're on the way across Australia to assist the Y. One of you is married and

has a child.

And so we have all the politics here. We have the homophobia. We have people who

write dirty graffiti on the side of your butt.

We have good old redneck folks who can't wait to run you out of town. We have

all that. We have a straight guy who comes on to one of you.

So what else is new?

You follow.

Is this a good idea?

What's happening here?

Mrs. Doubtfire, Tootsie, La Cage, The Crying Game.

Johnny Depp is to star in Ed Wood and play a transvestite, as is Patrick

and Wesley Snipes in Too Wong Fu.

Did you enjoy the experience, gentlemen?

Yeah, for me it was the most enjoyable experience of my film career, which

hasn't been very long, but it was by far and away the most enjoyable thing I've

ever done. Terrence?

Well, it was a nightmare, but it was fun as well.

Let me show, here's a clip of you putting your makeup on.

How long was the shoot? A couple of months?

It's a nightmare beginning with the makeup. Six weeks.

Here you are getting made up.

Well, this looks like fun. This is what, 5 .30 every morning?

Yeah, for two hours.

Uh -huh.

And did you learn anything politically?

This is a movie which, incidentally, is playing around the nation, opening in a

kind of an evolutionary way.

Look at this.

Well, what is our fascination, gentlemen, with this kind of activity?

Guy, do you have any clue as to what would make us...

I don't know. I think people like the idea of being able to express themselves

in many different ways. And a lot of people feel repressed in certain ways.

you know, this actually allows some people to sort of get a slight taste of

it's like to perhaps express yourself, like I say, in another kind of way.

You agree, Hugo?

Yeah, certainly for me it was...

I was a bit shocked when I put on the frock for the first time because I

You were not. You loved it. No, I was shocked.

I was shocked that I felt so good. I felt very liberated. I had a fantastic

time. Well, aren't you the liberated young man?

This is interesting.

When your colleague Guy said you loved it, we got an immediate laugh from the

audience. Like a knowing laugh.

The implication of this is that somehow all heterosexual males really want to do

this, but we're all afraid to say so. And so when someone says that out loud,

there's a almost involuntary response of, ha, ha, ha, gotcha. What is going

on here?

We've had Charlie's aunt.

We've had nothing like a dame. We have sailors in South Pacific putting

in their T -shirts.

And having just a grand time, that was fine with us.

We loved that scene.

It's okay if you're in the Navy somewhere in the South Pacific.

Has the curtain been raised for you heterosexual males on the issue of cross

-dressing and why it is that we either are terribly entertained by this or it

draws a good deal of hostility? I ask you, Terrence.

Well, I think Shakespeare understood it as fun.

I mean, in most of Shakespeare's comedies, there's a whole... There's

cross -dressing.

There's always some woman dressed up as a guy, guy dressed up as a woman.

It's a fun thing.

And the actors, of course, in those times actually were men. They were

the women's roles anyway.

Yes, so it was all male cast, you know, in the time of Shakespeare.

But it is... It is fun.

And it is erotic.

There is an erotic area about it in getting into clothes of the other.

Yes. Now, you had to perform in an effeminate way, shall we say, in this

huh? Yeah, I don't know about that. People say, did a more feminine side of

come out?

Isn't it more effeminate? I didn't feel... Funnily enough, I felt more

masculine. I know that might sound peculiar, but I don't know exactly what

means. But I suppose I felt...

that I was expressing myself in a more complete way, or I was expressing a side

of myself that I didn't normally express, and therefore I was opening up

of myself. So I actually felt... Terrence, your performances are

You are quite obviously very talented people. Your list of credit is

confirmation of that.

But Terrence, you did look like a man in a babushka to me.

And in other words, I didn't see any particular effort on the part of the

director or anybody, you know, constructing the film to insist that you

know, somebody in a long heels. Well, I was different from the other two. I

mean, the other two are drag queens.

The other two are homosexual men who dress up as women.

My character was a transsexual who is basically a woman born into a man's

body.

and consequently spent her life trying to get close to her real gender.

In other words, she's had the full operation.

You know, she's had her genitals rearranged to be made into a vagina.

So the point about this character was, unlike Tootsie and Mrs.

Doubtfire, it wasn't... it wasn't...

I mean, the audience is not meant to think, ah, it's really a man. It's

Dustin done up as a woman.

I mean, this is a transsexual. This is like third sex.

And that's what the director wanted. He wanted a transsexual who is a woman

internally and a man externally.

The movie about which we speak is The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the

Desert. This audience just saw the film.

My sense is that most of you liked it. Is there anybody that didn't like it?

How dare you raise your hand?

Stand up here a second. Before we hear from you... You're all going to chase me

out. No, we won't. No, we won't. Let's just share. For those at home, this is a

very much discussed movie, and it appears to be building in theaters in

cities around our nation.

Obviously, homophobes hate this film. And incidentally, we should say, not all

politically active gay people are going to give this five stars.

Not a few gay folks see...

drag as almost like blackface a sort of mocking sort of confirming the

stereotype of The homosexual a very diverse community here is your scene

scene from your film You have arrived at your first stop as you make your way

across Australia.

Oh my dear look who's here

Take that bloody frock off, Felicia. Don't make it any worse than it is. You

think I'm going to let you walk away with all the attention?

No chance.

Come on, girls.

Let's go shopping.

Oh, for Christ's sake.

I felt that more than having, than showing a so -called seamy side of life,

it indicated to me, at least the character did, bitterness,

jealousy, if you will.

Anger, hostility, I could go on and on. Three unhappy dudes here. Terrible.

And I don't think that they liked each other. I think they hated themselves.

At least that's what it showed to me.

It seemed very real to me. I mean, I've been to Wigstock for a few years. I

don't know if you guys have. It's pretty amazing.

I loved it. The drag show?

Yeah, it's every Labor Day. It's in New York City. It's a New York City thing.

And there was a lot of reality.

I mean, the poignancy of it. I mean, it was funny, but then right at the next

turn, it was very upsetting.

I mean, there's some very upsetting things going on.

But there was a lot of realness to it. You know, I mean, I didn't realize you

guys were all heterosexuals, but... You know, that's okay. You can stay.

Coco Lachine will be performing in drag for us, one of the numbers from this

film. Also here is Paul Cameron, who feels that homosexuals

threaten the future of America.

And we will also meet Esther Newton, Ph .D., in anthropology at SUNY College in

Purchase. She's done a... Good deal of scholarship on lots of issues relating

gayness, including the definitive study of Fire Island, how it happened, and how

it came to be one of the premier gay places in America.

Let's talk about this. Incidentally, this is a subject not unfamiliar to me.

Show him, Brian.

There he is.

What's not to love here?

Let me just say that in 1981, I wore that, that's a skirt on the left.

And everybody tee -heed, laughed, laughed, ha -ha. It was great fun.

And I did it again in 1988.

And my dear, the hostility, the public scolding,

the anger. I do believe that something happened from the beginning of the 80s

the end of the 80s that somehow...

brought out more and more anger and hostility toward the very thing that you

portray in this much talked about film. And we'll talk about why this may be

when we come back in just a moment.

Esther Newton, Ph .D. We're talking about you, Dr.

Newton. You're the anthropologist, SUNY College at Purchase, New York. And I

mentioned the book that you've written about Fire Island.

You are a politically active, out -of -the -closet lesbian person.

Yeah. And so your interest in gayness in America and elsewhere is more than

just in passing.

You heard our comment here about...

what's going on here with Mrs. Doubtfire, La Cage, we have Patrick

course, we all remember Tootsie.

Is it in? Is there something about this activity that fascinates us? And do you

have any insight that we might understand why it provokes, on the one

laughter, and on the other, we'll meet a man here in a moment who thinks that

this is the kind of thing that is contributing to the downfall of America.

you, Dr. Newton.

Would you like me to?

I think it's very different. Mrs. Doubtfire is very different from what

were doing here.

Because here they were representing gay men, these two guys were, and he was

representing a transsexual. That's very different from what was happening in

Mrs. Doubtfire with a supposedly heterosexual man who, for other

But it's a man in a woman's clothing, and it entertains us. And it has busted

box office records. Very true.

Charlie's aunt in the 40s came out of the gate screaming.

I merely wonder, and maybe I'm reaching here, I merely wonder if there isn't

something that we should know here or explore in terms of...

our own feelings about sexuality and our fears, our insecurities, the unspoken

things that make up the psychosexual personality.

I think these three actors said it beautifully.

I couldn't say it better myself about creativity and the different sides we

have. I think there's also a lot of social upheaval in America now, and

are very anxious about these things.

You think the anxiety level is greater now than you do? Yes, I do. Would this

the Reagan years that provoked this?

Well, homosexuality has become this very hot issue that everyone's talking

about, even on Donahue. And people are very nervous and anxious about it

I think American society has a lot of problems. We have a lot of problems now

with our families.

are young people, and a lot of this is being pinned on gay people unjustly.

But it's a very anxious -making issue right now, yeah.

Rather than focusing on the negative, I'm wondering, for the actors, I have a

question, if indeed playing women, did that,

perhaps, doesn't that make you, or did it make you more sympathetic to women in

general, the understanding of women, and that could promote harmony in the world

rather than animosity?

I don't feel like I was playing a woman at all. I was playing a drag queen,

which is a very different thing. And there was no way in the world I could

pretend to be a woman.

So it gave me a better insight perhaps into myself and in the sort of things

that I repress in everyday life and the sort of things that I don't.

And perhaps that makes me a more complete person. I don't know. So in

sense, it might be contributing to the harmony of the world, but not in my

understanding of women, not really.

I'd like to know the one with the silver hair. Did you feel like RuPaul when you

had that hair on when you first got off the bus?

Paul.

Oh, no. Who has the big do?

By the bus?

Yeah. With the pink wig? Yes.

I actually hadn't seen RuPaul until after we did the film, but I think

fantastic.

Here you are, the three of you in character, sitting around getting to

other from Priscilla.

Queen of the Desert.

We're implugging our curling wands and going bush, Felicia.

Why would you possibly want to leave all this glamour for a hike into the middle

of nowhere?

Do you really want to know?

Desperate.

Well, ever since I was a lad, I've had this dream.

A dream that I now, finally, have a chance to fulfil.

And that is?

To travel to the centre of Australia.

Climb King's Canyon, as a queen, in a full -length Gaultier sequin, heels, and

tiara.

Great.

That's just what this country needs.

Yes.

I just want to say, I don't know how much preparation you guys did. I know

you're probably on a close set, but did any of you go out, and especially

Terrence, go out and learn what it felt like to actually live with the wig?

The director is a young genius. He's also a sadist.

He insisted that before we start shooting the movie that we all get

and went out onto the streets of Sydney.

And so, you know, the last Saturday night before we started shooting, that's

what we did.

And it was a very enlightening experience, I have to say. You did a

job of each of you played very different characters in very different

situations. None of you were condescending or the obvious stereotypes

homosexuality or transsexualism. And I was just wondering where that each came

from in each of you, friends that you had or experiences you had on your own.

I think...

Sometimes depending on the characters you play in a movie it you know you can

either draw on Your observations from the past or people that you know

specifically. I mean for me the character that I played was a

personality traits of People that I know and also people that I have known and

also you know your imagination creating something like that And you're right.

You've got it. You do have to be careful of Becoming condescending or when we

come back Coco Lachine will perform as I promised for us some of the questions

that I think should be addressed here. First of all, you had no hesitation

these roles.

You don't think you'll be typecast.

We might ask, why three straight guys to do these roles?

Lots of gay actors out there willing to do this work.

Does your...

make it easier to sell tickets?

I don't know. I'm not certainly ascribing any false motives to you. But

some of the questions raised by yet another film in which males dress as

I speak of Priscilla, the queen of the desert. And the song from that same

will be performed for us by a real live drag queen when we come back in just a

moment.

Earlier today, Coco LePine taped an introduction to her own performance.

Kindly roll that tape, Brian.

Hi, my name is Charles, and I'm really glad to be on the show today.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but in celebration of National Coming Out Day,

I'm going to do it. So America and Phil, ready or not, Coco is coming out today.

been so many nights thinking how you did me wrong and I was wrong and I learned

how to get along and throw your back from my face I just walked in to find

you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid

lock I should have made you leave your key if I'd have known for just one

you'd be back to bother me oh now go oh god

me with the box. It's God's Rumble.

Well, Paul Cameron, how did you like that? Were you entertained by that?

No, not really.

Tell us, you are chairman of the Family Research Institute in Washington, D .C.

You believe that homosexuals threaten the future of America. Do I understand

your position?

Yeah, and in fact, it partially answers the question you asked a couple of

segments ago.

Why is it that hostility is slowly growing toward this kind of thing?

I think an awful lot of people out there now can see the cliff.

We've been going the wrong direction for a number of years.

And hey, there is a cliff over there.

And we're about to hit it. We're about to hit the wall, the cliff, the end of

our civilization.

It's still ahead.

This isn't going to kill us.

But notice what's happening here.

Notice that...

Even as in the movie, which I thought was fairly accurate and perceptive.

Here's this fellow who decides to come out on national TV to tell his parents,

listen, you wasted that part of your life you spent on me. Here I am.

I'm not going to hold up my end of the sky.

I'm going to live for me.

And I'm going to do something really wacko and help to encourage all the

people out there that are disturbed, who more often than not are men rather than

women. And I deal with these people, Phil.

And I see the children.

Your program, unfortunately, is going to stimulate probably a couple of thousand

men to go a little closer to the edge. Some of them will start to drag.

And then others will have the operation.

And behind that, wait, one more point. Behind that, there are going to be tens

of thousands of children that are going to have their lives really hurt.

And if you could see these kids.

As adults or as children.

And in part, the movie dealt with it.

But I want to assure you that almost no child can see his father or mother

transform this way without being deeply disturbed, deeply distressed.

And I'm sorry, you've done a lot of good things in your life. This is not one of

them.

Do the actors have any response to this?

Pardon?

Here's a scene that you will probably not like.

Terrence Stamp, whose movie credits are very impressive. Superman 1 and 2,

you're the real McCoys, young guns.

You're either a bad guy, a macho, somebody. You've played a lot of

And here you are as a transsexual in this film.

And a good old boy hits on you. Well, well.

Here's the scene. Bob, of all people, Bob likes you.

Come along, Adam. Time for your beauty sleep.

Come on.

Will you two be joining us?

Um, I just thought I'd have one for the road. How about you, Bob?

Sounds good to me.

A piece of cake, Bob?

So, tell me about you.

Bernice has left her takeout in the rain.

Yeah.

Now, here's Bob, not long afterward, bringing you flowers.

Bringing you flowers, my word.

What is the world coming to?

Bob.

Of course you can, Bob.

My Aunt Minion here.

Don't mean to barge in, just want to wish you luck.

Thanks, Bob.

Thanks.

You make up for what happened last time.

Thank you.

That's so thoughtful.

All right, girls, let's get this show on the road.

That's from Priscilla Adventures.

of the desert queen, the queen of the desert. And we'll be back to allow this

audience an opportunity to question all of our guests, including Paul Cameron,

chairman of the Family Research Institute in Washington, D .C.

Do you think AIDS patients should be quarantined?

I think it would have been a blessing had they been quarantined early on. Now

think they ought to be socially isolated to some degree because in the latest

survey, the largest survey ever done by homosexuals, one out of every nine says

that they lie to have sex with other people who don't know they're HIV

And we'll be back in just a moment.

Let's welcome back Coco. Come on in here. Coco Lachine.

Well,

you don't look uncomfortable.

Do we make a good couple or what?

Yes. Dr.

Cameron, I'm sorry you give me a headache.

I can't believe that you believe what you're really saying. The end of

civilization, people thought the Waltz would be the end of civilization at one

time, or Elvis Presley.

Coco is on the board of directors of many corporations, raises thousands of

dollars for charity. I don't see how she threatens anyone.

I'll remind you that actually it's just the end of our civilization.

Remember in the end of Rome, a lot of the cross -dressing occurred.

Before the French Revolution, same kind of a game.

And now we know it's no longer just kind of a farce.

Now we're looking at genuinely large numbers of people being tempted by this

foolishness, going into the lifestyle, dying as a consequence.

And it really isn't very amusing.

I don't know whether this fellow is going to live very long, but he probably

won't. Did you see the movie? Were you watching it with us? Because that movie

was one of the best. I can't imagine why Americans can't make that kind of

movie. I watched it, and I wanted to actually say that Terrence made such a

quiet dignity to that character that actually humanized transsexuals. And I'm

actually going to say this. I have a lot of friends. that are transsexuals, both

male to female, female to male, and they're the neatest people. And the

transvestites on the show, they humanize them. I mean, how can you say that?

We're supposed to be like this leave -it -to -beaver society. You live for your

mom, you live for your dad, you don't do anything to make yourself happy.

What rock did you crawl out from under?

Humanizing people.

Everybody who does good or bad is a human.

But if you humanize them in the Hollywood sense, And there is a

between the media and Hollywood, a part of it, academia and the government to

destroy the American family.

And this is a step, a small step in that direction. If you saw the clients that

I have, if you saw their children, you would be nowhere near as sanguine as you

just now said. Coco wanted to say.

I just want to comment on something that this gentleman sitting next to me,

whatever his name is, I didn't catch it earlier.

But...

Thank you. I hope you sell a lot of this.

You need it.

Dr. Cameron said earlier that my parents would be disappointed.

Unfortunately, they're not here to refute you. However, my parents were

intelligent, and what makes them different from who you are is they have

unconditional love.

If you think that I probably will not live very long, then maybe my little

life that you think that I will have is probably more productive than what you

have, the kind of hate that you perpetrate all over the country.

No, no. I just wanted to say, unlike you...

Terrence's performance, I actually thought he was more beautiful than the

gentlemen. And he also didn't over glamorize. So I identified with him as

being a woman. I could tell that he was the transsexual that was performing.

There's a rave for your performance, Terrence.

Here is anthropologist Newton's contribution to our understanding of the

of gay America. Cherry Grove, Fire Island, here we have the... Before

Stonewall, if San Francisco was the political capital of gayness in America,

certainly Cherry Grove became the place of summer fun, activity, socializing,

and meeting other friends. And your account of it has been very well

Yes, it has. And we'll be back to talk with you further about some of the

observations made here on this and give this audience a chance in just a moment.

Here's just a rogues gallery of the many parts in American drama.

Here is Benny and this was Where's Charlie?

We'll do this in a hurry. Milton Berle got a lot of laughs on the Texaco Star

Theater. Who will remember?

And Bob Hope in The Lemon Drop Kid.

Yes, hello, Bob.

Tommy Kernis, some like it hot.

You know, changed, cross -dressed. Flip Wilson, well, there you are. Peter

Scolari and Tom Hanks in a TV show, Bosom Buddies. We also...

have and will never forget the highly regarded Le Cage, a foal. Dustin

of course, in Tootsie. Just to keep going, here's Jay Davidson in The Crying

Game. We've already mentioned Mrs. Doubtfire. It is true that these are

different, there are certainly different motives for all of this cross

-dressing. And it's, well, there you go, Swayze in To Wong Foo. Thanks for

everything, Julie Newmark.

Wesley Snipes, same film.

And on and on it goes.

You may I ask you the only. Well,

I don't. You're the you're a lesbian. And so therefore, I'm obliged to ask you

how you feel about those who would criticize within the gay community.

This kind of minstrel show drag is a.

is merely throwing a strike to the homophobes who see the gay community in

stereotypical way.

I don't see it that way.

I see drag as part of the genius of the gay community.

And as a woman, I have some feelings about some...

I thought the drag in this movie was wonderful, but there were some moments

women were portrayed that I didn't appreciate.

Oh, the business with the Filipino wife?

I thought that was racist. I thought it was... Why use

her that way to establish that Bob is a...

As a nice guy. Bob is the guy who hits on Terrence or Terrence's character.

Right, right. I thought it was unnecessary.

Why? Why do that? Or even in the bar in the first scene, why did... They made a

woman was the one who said, oh, you stink to Terrence. You know, like, we

want your kind around here.

You know, why do that? So Bob is married to a cold wife.

My wife doesn't understand me, not unlike the stereotypical guy at the bar.

And he makes a move on Terrence. And you see that as sexist?

Well, she was meant to be such a slut and crazy and, you know, why?

Uh -huh. Here, Paul Cameron might want to review once again. Here they are

performing. Here are these three, this merry trio of music makers, all in

two drag queens and a transsexual, Australia, and here's the show, or part

it. Whoa.

Hit it.

I can't drive it.

Right in front of my face, and I just

cannot hide it.

Hey. Whoa.

Paul, just three guys out having a good time. It's fun.

It's innocent.

Who's hurt?

Not innocent.

As I point out in my book, The Gay Nineties, what's happening here is, you

to hold it? Sure. You can. Sure.

One of the things that's happening here is we know, even with heterosexuality

being the norm, that perhaps as many as 15 % of men already are tempted in a

homosexual direction.

And all you need to do is push a little bit more, and that envelope will keep

getting larger and larger.

And what will happen is what has happened in other societies before us.

not unique. This has happened 18 times before, if you believe the UN analysis.

Or you believe Petrin Sorokin, chairman of the Department of Sociology at

Harvard. Eighteen times before, men have said, hey, we don't have to control

sexuality. It'll never get it. It's going to get us. It's getting us right

There's always been homosexual men. It's just more evident now. What is your

suggestion to young homosexual people to get them back on the straight and

narrow? Well, first of all, my same suggestion to people that are shooting

drugs. By all means, stop.

Cease to fist. You're headed toward death.

Stop it.

Same thing I say to smokers. Stop it.

Do you feel that you could do something about it?

I've had about as much success as others.

Sometimes I can.

Most of the time, unfortunately, my field, I'm a psychologist, most of the

we cannot help people who have problems that are severe as these.

But people can often, between working hard and working at it, help themselves

with the aid of others. It's not a disease, you know? Yeah, I'm wondering.

What's your wives or girlfriends think about you dressing up?

Have they said anything to you? Gentlemen.

Yeah.

Well,

my partner, she was a bit shocked at first, I think, because just the, you

the look of it was a bit shocking. But she kind of, she came out with this that

night. We went out and dragged and she went home a bit earlier than we did. But

she eventually got used to it.

Were you hit on?

When you went out in drag?

I was a little bit.

You were?

I think I wouldn't remember.

Tell us, Guy, what happened?

There was a guy that kept insisting on buying me drinks, and he wanted to know

what I wanted to drink, and I said, no, you choose the drink, and I'll tell you

if I'll drink it or not.

And I was playing the character when I was out, so, I mean, I was being very

obnoxious.

And we'll be back in a moment.

Get it while you're young.

Some like it hot. Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis.

I'm going to break his heart when he finds out I can't marry him. So it's

to break sugar's heart when she finds out I'm not a millionaire.

That's life.

You can't make an omelet without breaking an egg.

What are you giving me with the omelet? Nag, nag, nag. Look, we got a yacht. We

got a bracelet. You've got us good. I've got you. We're really cooking.

So there they are.

Nothing new here.

Dr. Newton.

Dr. Newton wanted to say regarding...

Something Mr. Cameron said? Yes, I was very disappointed when I found out that

you or your producer had asked him to come because he is not a credible

He's been expelled from the American Psychological Association.

And he has been declared not a credible witness by a federal district judge.

And really, he knows nothing about drag, and there's no reason to have him here.

No matter what Mr.

Cameron's credentials are, I think it's unfortunate that people like him decide

to try to divide us on our differences instead of celebrating what makes us all

the same, our humanness that we all share. And I think it's scary when

like him try to divide us.

I don't want to dog on this woman's point down here because I respect it,

the one thing I liked about the movie is that there was a sense of pain. Because

in the gay community, underneath things, there is pain that we've had to deal

with because we have guys like this going around saying these things about

telling us that we're perverts.

The drag, I think, is a way of coping and a sense of humor.

And I really appreciated the honesty of the movie. Thank you.

I'm watching this program right now who have held up their part of the sky.

They've said, I realize that every reasonable person, a good person, both

produces stuff and raises well -socialized children. And I'll do that.

the sacrifices necessary.

And you sit here and say, somebody's discriminating against me. They're

I have to hold up my end of the sky.

Well, friend, that's the way it is.

That's your obligation.

You owe it to your parents, your grandparents, and our ancestors.

Over here, please.

May this young man make a point. I wonder if Mr.

Cameron ever dressed up for Halloween as a woman, or would he?

Would he approve of that?

I don't recall doing so. I will say this, that if you would see the distress

the tens of thousands of children that have now been affected by this very

phenomenon, which is growing.

by the homosexual molestation, which is growing, then you can smile now. But if

you could see the kids whose lives are being terribly tarnished, then you, I

think, would stop smiling. But most people who molest young boys are

heterosexual males.

No, no, no.

Let's not forget that this is a comedy. I thought it was a great comedy.

I thought it was a drag.

Yes, ma 'am.

I cannot believe that in the 90s you made an ignorant statement like, such

what did you say about the AIDS patients, you know, to crown seeing

mean, with everything that we know today, you have been ignorant throughout

show, but that was the most...

Ignorant that you've been. You wanted to say, my friend, please, briefly. I just

want to say that the three gentlemen, straight actors who put their careers

everything else on the line to educate the public should be congratulated for

doing that.

I think that life evolves everything.

As long as you love each other and respect each other, I think that will...

beat anything else. I think the actors

are to be commended. I think that this gentleman needs some education and Coco,

black is your color.

And we'll be back in just a minute.

Yes, the very young fellow in the film, he didn't seem to at all have been

negatively affected by his father being...

The child. The child. Well, you know, the father fainted away and in part kept

alluding to the fact, which it's just a film after all, that if you would see

the reality of it, I haven't yet met a child who wasn't severely disturbed.

And many of them are pushed over the edge. There are thousands and thousands

gay people raising children responsibly all over the world.

We have so many problems in this world. And one

of the main problems are the homeless. children who are gay, but they have no

role model and they've been ostracized and they kick out their homes. Service
