... and my stage career has been all downhill from there.
Thank you for seeing the threatened people around you. They're our friends and neighbors, and there sure seem to be more and more of them threatened as the days pass.
I liked your tangent and appreciate your empathy for others. I'm not in many of those minority categories but as a woman I know what it feels like to walk in a room and know that I have to try harder than any guy in the room. Most times I have to work my way up to a neutral position instead of that being my starting point. I'm not a victim, I'm a realist and that has been part of my history. When Texas has a backlog of several thousand rape kits that are older than 90 days, I realize my safety and security is always secondary. With politics as they are, any protections are being weakened. It's so sad that powerful people these days are so afraid of independent thought, especially by women and minorities. Thank you for using your voice as a champion.

Well said, John. Thank you for speaking out.
