In the new issue of NEXT (November 6, 2009), Precious director Lee Daniels covers the gay angle in his highly regarded new film (which I can't wait to see) and also talks about HIV among people of color:

"The truth will set you free. When I did research [on HIV/AIDS organizations for the film], I expected to see a lot of [gay] boys down there. It's not. It's a bunch of black women because black men are on the DL and they have their legs spread wider than Baryshnikov infecting black women. [Black men] can't come out to church [and] can't come out to work. To live in your truth is the hardest thing imaginable."

I'd love to have him reply to this outrageous review. Granted, I have yet to see the film, but the awkwardly interjected political bent of this one is just about as gross as Mariah Carey looks (on purpose! it's a compliment!) in Precious.
