Gays are hated. Prove me wrong. Your top general just called us immoral. Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, is in charge of an estimated 65,000 gay and lesbian troops, some fighting for our country in Iraq. A right-wing political commentator, Ann Coulter, gets away with calling a straight presidential candidate a faggot. Even Garrison Keillor, of all people, is making really tacky jokes about gay parents in his column. This, I guess, does not qualify as hate except that it is so distasteful and dumb, often a first step on the way to hate. Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama tried to duck the questions that Pace's bigotry raised, confirming what gay people know: that there is not one candidate running for public office anywhere who dares to come right out, unequivocally, and say decent, supportive things about us.
I have been waiting on this one. In my opinion, Dreamgirls is one of the best musicals written. Smart, powerful musical numbers, along with larger than life characters! Dreamsgirls is a must-own for all glbt people. Oprah Winfrey said: "Dreamgirls defines spectacular" and I agree. I'll be hosting my own Opening Night of Dreamgirls on Tuesday, May 1. Be sure to get your copy of Dreamgirls.

Customer Review: I saw the orginal Los Angeles production with Jennifer Holliday. It was rightfully described as a living film. Every scene flowed into the next, no blackouts. Add to that a brilliant book and score with sets, costumes and lighting to match, you have an incredible experience.
