Drive through downtown Minneapolis these days and you're almost certain to bump into a billboard (or two or three) emblazoned with the title of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner's latest work, "The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures."
"I was excited to see a bus go by a couple of months ago when I first got to Minneapolis and the only words you could make out as the bus went by were 'homosexual' and 'socialism,'" Kushner says, adding that the first thing he did when he saw it was call his husband back home in New York City.
"He said, 'Yeah, it's great -- You've come up with a perfectly shaped 14-word phrase of English that's guaranteed to give [Republican U.S. Rep.] Michele Bachmann a heart attack, and it doesn't even have an active verb in it.'"
