This past week, the vice-president-elect and very homophobic former governor of Ohio attended an evening Broadway performance to the current hit show, Hamilton: The Musical. The cast of the show is very diverse and consists of a large number of racial, ethnic and sexual minorities. All of whom have been widely disparaged by the incoming administration.
At the conclusion of that particular evening's performance, the entire cast gathered onstage following the curtain-call. This was the message delivered by the staff to the vice-president-elect:
I know that I am not alone in being extremely disappointed and disillusioned over the results of the recent election. This vote, I believe, does not bode well for this country and especially for the Black people who live here.
However, I am impressed with the strong and conciliatory message the cast of Hamilton: The Musical delivered to the vice-president-elect. I sincerely hope that plea for equality and fairness is received and acted upon by the incoming administration.
If it is ignored, then there is very little hope for any of us in this once-great nation.
Be yourself: gay, nude and proud!
