This is more of a play but it’s great nonetheless. I encourage you to read it, don’t just rent the movie.

Even Phylicia Rashad’s marvelous acting couldn’t save [...]

I’m recommending it because it’s beautifully written by one of the premiere activists within our community. And it deals with some [...]
