PEOPLE EXCLUSIVE. In honor of the release of EXQUISITE THINGS today, I wrote a little something for a magazine that’s older than I am ha. I think it’s pretty important and hope you agree (but will fight for your right to disagree ‘cause I still believe in free speech, sigh). An excerpt: “Wilde, a banned writer himself, is credited with saying, ‘Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.’ That is what book bans are about: Power. Who gets to tell their stories? Whose perspective is history told from? Who is shame weaponized against? We must address these questions before it’s too late, because as history teaches us, book bans are a chilling signal of where a society is headed. A government that bans books, as we’ve seen, is one that seeks to control higher education, dismantles public health, deports innocent people, turns protest into crime, deploys the military against its own citizens. The forces of power want to shame us into hiding. We can’t let that happen.” Song is from @leoniepernet’s new album, hands down one of my favorites of the year. Get into it ❤️ 23 Sep 2025

Happy Banned Books Week!! A truly special time in the land of the free. You have one week to celebrate. Tell an author they’re disgusting, objectionable, indecent, threaten them. Fun! Tell queer immigrants to go back to their birth countries where they’ll be killed. Yay! Make sure marginalized young people feel all that beautiful non-woke stigma and shame again! Pull books off library shelves, out of schools, throw out every book in your home if you still read (statistics say you don’t). Books are tools for empathy and we all know how dangerous empathy is. And don’t stop at books. Go after all the arts, all the humanities, we cannot have a world of cultural understanding and critical thinking. Empathy bad, fear good. Now go blow out some candles for banned books, or better yet, use the candles to burn some literature before this special holiday ends. #blessed 🪩 oh and follow @authorsagainstbookbans please 06 Oct 2025

Well this was wild. A whole MSNBC segment on LIKE A LOVE STORY. I got to bring my kids, a proud parent moment. I wore a shirt from my early 1990s high school queer club SMAC, a full circle moment. Back then we didn’t know what the future would hold. I’m grateful it holds this. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this book’s journey. Thank you to MSNBC and to Ali Velshi for having me and for shining a light on banned books. Fight authoritarianism wherever you see it. Create community however you can. Keep creating beauty ❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽 02 Aug 2025

Meet Abdi & Arian, two of our Unseen Iran Grant winners from 2025 reporting live with an update on their musical, Only This Beautiful Moment. We can’t wait to watch this project take the stage, and are so honored to be a part of the journey! #iranianartist #artistgrant 29 Oct 2026

The New York Times?! Written by one of my favorite culture writers Mark Harris?! This piece is stunning in its depth and heart, and I couldn’t be more honored that Like a Love Story is a part of it. Writing this book has been one of the great gifts of my life. Writing about my own shame freed me of the last remaining shreds of it. And sharing this history with a new generation has brought me into conversation with young people all over the world who have educated me about the issues they face in a time that demands a lot more acting up. Also: Mark Harris’ husband is Tony Kushner. I saw the original Broadway production of Angels in America as a teen. It was part of a summer program I did at Strasberg. It was the summer of Erotica and a bunch of us called ourselves the Ditas. The program director Kevin was an honorary Dita, in large part because he took us to see everything New York had to offer. Diamanda Galás. The Fantasticks. A batshit performance of Faust. And Angels. We spoke to the cast and crew after the show. I remained closeted for many more years but I started to wake up. It remains the most impactful theatrical experience of my life (and I see a lot of theater). Also remains my favorite play ever, and the miniseries is brilliant so you all can experience its power (it’s directed by Mike Nichols, who Mark Harris wrote a beautiful book about). The Messenger arrived the day I saw that play. I’m forever grateful. This is my favorite Pet Shop Boys song and it’s mentioned in the piece. Pet Shop Boys 4ever. 20 Oct 2026

Couldn’t let Banned Books Week pass without thanking everyone who has banned my books for bringing so many beautiful people into my life. Loved speaking at The University of Utah recently and at the Utah State Capitol earlier this year. LIKE A LOVE STORY was the 15th book banned statewide in Utah public schools (up to 37 books now). Whoever banned it probably wanted me out of Utah. Oh well. I now have relationships with Let Utah Read (co-founded by the amazing Rebekah Cummings, pictured here), the University of Utah, so many local organizations and bookshops (if you’re in Salt Lake, be sure to visit Under the Umbrella, The Legendarium and The King’s English). And if you’d like to help get the 37 banned books into the hands of Utahns, visit the website for the Utah LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce (@utahlgbtqchamber). They have an incredible Read Between The Bans program (alongside SafeZone Utah, BrainFood Books and a host of local bookshops) to buy banned books (from local booksellers) to give away at community events throughout the state. Let’s use every attempt to divide us as an opportunity to unite 🙏🏽 11 Oct 2026
