The "Mark Twain" narrator is a little bit much, but it might be a gateway for the listener... the inclusion of Prof. Michael Greenblatt, author of "Will In The World" gives this documentary added weight. He is brilliant and illumines this piece. Who was Shakespeare? Hell, I know, but anything that gets us to contemplate him -- like this segment -- is more than worth the while. Thought provoking!
An excellent 'take' on tolerance by a straight person. Real food for popular to PC to bash gay/lesbian folk in the media. This is refreshing! Gay Pride can mean many things to many people, but confuses the hell out of heterosexual people. Here's a fellow who knows what it means to him and what it should mean for the rest of us. His non-threanted, non-judgmental (and amusing viewpoint) is sets perfect tone and reminds the listener that it's okay to be different.
