Dear Dan : apologies from an imperfect world

D. Woog

What if Fred Phelps wrote a letter to gay men and lesbians apologizing for his odious existence? Or if Mart Crowley, the gay playwrite apologized for penning The Boys in the Band and dooming a generation of gay men to self-hatred? Or if George W. Bush gave a speech explaining his compassionate conservatism to an audience of homosexuals? Wouldn't it be amazing? Could you imagine it? Dan Woog has, and as a result, he's compiled this collection of letters, speeches, and interviews we would all love to see. Luxembourg responds to the nomination of James Hormel. Dr. Laura Schlessinger gets caught in her own hypocrisy, Reggie White concedes that maybe he took too many hits to the head. Chances are if they said or did something offensive, homophobic, or just plain stupid, Dan Woog has imagined them coming clean. It's his world, and it's not perfect, but it's a start!
