Star Wars as Guardians of the Galaxy, Patsy Byrne passes, Lee Daniels dedicates Stonewall Award to boyfriend
Lee Daniels was presented with the Stonewall Community Foundation’s Vision Award last week, and his speech is really something to behold. In the last part, he dedicated the award to his boyfriend Fisher. “We live in midtown, and this award is for him, because I’m here to protect him. He gets harassed every day. He gets the faggot word at him going to work every day. I wish a motherfucker would call me faggot. I have not been that unlucky. I’d probably end up in jail or the New York Post or something like that, but this is dedicated to him, because he tolerates my insanity when I go down deep and I’m creating and I’m not there. I love you, and it’s for you, kiddo.”
