State sanctioned marriage is a civil contract period. A contract is not a judgment of moral value.

With Russia about to hold the Winter Games in Sochi, the country is open to pressure. American and world leaders must speak out against Mr. Putin's attacks and the violence they foster. The Olympic Committee must demand the retraction of these laws under threat of boycott.

Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.

Pork was in 1971, and I stopped hanging out at The Factory by like 1973.
