Angered playwright gets call from Leno
As I mentioned previously, playwright Jeff Whitty took offense to what he
considered Jay Leno's less-than-enlightening attitude towards gays and gay culture, and penned a letter to the late night comedian
to let his feelings be known. Apparently Whitty wasn't quite expecting the response his letter would stir up. Some
people agreed with his assessments, while others, like gay comedian Jim David (who you should check out if you've never
seen him before, because he's hilariously dead pan in his mockery of everyone) feel Whitty needs to just lighten the heck up. Probably the coolest thing to come
out of this is that Leno actually contacted Whitty by phone, which, according to Whitty, didn't necessarily solve any
issues, but was a nice gesture, regardless.
