Have I changed? When TORCH SONG arrived on Broadway gay adoption was a far off dream, same sex marriage was an impossibility, celebrities were in the closet & pols sought 2 close the borders 2 gays lest we spread AIDS 2 the "public". So I guess change is good.

“After I saw the original Torch Song, I wrote Harvey a fan letter & told him how much his play meant to me. He wrote me back this postcard. For Harvey to take the time to answer a 17-year-old with a pearl of wisdom in that very motherly way–I felt like he was my guardian angel.”

Of course Harvey Fierstein captures how special yesterday was for #TorchSongBway.

Richie Jackson's mom took him to see TORCH SONG when he was 17. 35 yrs later he brought it back to B'way hoping it would do for others what it did for him. Thank you TONY committee for honoring us. Dreams come true.
