OUT: Andrew Scott, one of the OUT100 this year, talks passionately about the diversity of the — and his — queer community:
“One of the things I love in my own queer friendships is that, for some reason, not everybody is from the same socioeconomic background or the same age or whatever. So, having friends who are in their 80s, and having friends who are in their 20s and their 40s and 50s, and lots of different genders and races, to me, it’s really, really inspiring. That’s what the world needs, because prejudice doesn’t survive proximity. That’s why I think inclusiveness within our own community is so incredibly important.”

VARIETY: The Golden Globes is getting all strict and shit, icing out Michael from the (easier) musical or comedy categories. It’ll have to compete as a straight-up drama.
