"It was a great privilege to be gay, otherwise I'd probably be very boring and unhappy and unexamined." John Cameron Mitchell (currently starring as Joe Exotic in Joe vs. Carole) talks about the extraordinary legacy of Hedwig And The Angry Inch, why he doesn't consider Hedwig to be trans, and why growing up queer teaches you empathy, "Empathy comes from being an outsider".
