I keep thinking that the supreme irony (both tragic and comic) would be for RTD to fail because he is an openly gay man.
He (IMHO) de-gays a show to make it acceptable to the religious loonies in my country and then discovers that being gay will cause folks to boycott his show...even if its called "Its nice to hate gays."
Let's not forget the Tinky Winky stinky of a few years ago. (OMG he's gay!!). And just recently, one of our brilliant conservative talking-heads creating a nice little fuss about the new GI Joe movie (OMG - he's not American!, with American values!!, he's part of the international UN comspiracy!).
I hope I never find myself in the position of abandoning my principles to make people who think I'm going to burn in hell happy about my work.
At the end of the day, all you have is your personal integrity and reputation. And once you sell out, it really doesn't matter whether its for millions or $10; you've shown what you are, now you're just haggling over the price.
