More Moments of Gay Zen

Whenever right-wing Christian websites attack my work, they tend to identify me as “Homosexual playwright Paul Rudnick.” I can’t decide which term these fundamentalists are more suspicious of – “homosexual” or “playwright.”

I love Taylor Swift, for her genuine and appealing talent and because she seems to have been created as a homework assignment by a really bright gay little boy.

I could be wrong, but Santacon strikes me as an overwhelmingly heterosexual event. It’s some Yuletide version of straight people in drag.

In the suburbs, I noticed far more gay guys at Wild by Nature, the knockoff of Whole Foods, than at Stop and Shop. Wild by Nature is the Grindr of supermarkets.

I recently saw a wonderful photo of Kim Kardashian and the legendary Larry Kramer at an awards banquet. These are two people whom I never imagined I’d see in the same frame, and the picture reminded me of that classic shot of Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield.
