		One of America's first few openly gay major celebrities, actor and playwright Harvey Fierstein (pronounced Fire-steen) didn't need to "come out" after he became famous and was never "outed" against his will.

		Fierstein scored again in the theater the following year by writing the amusing book of the sumptuous, popular Broadway musical adaptation, "La Cage aux Folles," earning a third Tony in the process.

	Color Me Harvey, 5/25/2000
		These thoughts were on my mind after I spoke to Harvey Fierstein by telephone from his New York City home.
		But when you speak to Fierstein, you encounter an interesting dichotomy: a man who works tirelessly, but sighs heavily-- and often-- with world-weariness; a man who demands the respect due to him, but modestly downplays the difference he is making.
		I saw you on a talk show where you mentioned that you'd been to a doctor who told you that you actually shouldn't be able to speak.

	Playbill News: Will Harvey Fierstein Be the Next Tevye in Broadway's Fiddler on the Roof?
		Harvey Fierstein has been in discussions with the producers of Fiddler on the Roof to possibly take over the role of Tevye in the Tony Award-nominated revival of the show, sources in the theatre community told Playbill On-Line.
		A spokesman for the show said Nov. 8 that "no casting information is available at this time" and that director David Leveaux would be in town this week to make a decision about the recasting of the lead role, which Alfred Molina vacates in early January 2005, when his contract ends.
		His voice is harsh as gravel, and his association with gay roles and gay causes is strong, but Fierstein is said to want a crack at what is considered one of the greatest "traditional" roles in American musical theatre.

		Fierstein, author of such groundbreaking theatrical works about gays as Torch Song Trilogy and the book for La Cage aux Folles, turns his attention to the AIDS crisis.
		Although none of the characters is actually ill, all have suffered radical changes in their relationships and view of the world; all find that the very concept of "safe sex" inhibits their ability to connect, not just sexually but also emotionally, with others.
		I think it is a wonderful play, and I plan to produce and direct it this fall because I feel it explores social acceptance -- or lack thereof -- of homosexuals, and this topic was thrust again into public debate recently by the Supreme Court's recent decision.
