We are in relationships, that’s a lot of hard work. KC: I think that, I think they’re jealous that we’re having a better time. We’ve made legislative and cultural strides but there is a kind of traditional way of thinking about gay people that’s still there and that we’re still working on.Ĭlarion: What do you think are the common misconceptions people have? It won’t be over until a kid who comes out and comes out young won’t have their first thought be suicide. Workplace changes, civil unions, marriage in some places, the repeal of don’t ask don’t tell. We’ve certainly made progress with great legislative non-discrimination things. We’ve made progress culturally with visibility. There are pockets where people think, “I’m the only gay person,” but it’s like hello, get a television. I’ve often felt people weren’t really homophobic and much as homo ignorant. And because of that and because more people come out and more straight people get to know them. But I think on a cultural level the visibility of LGBT people is huge. Of course we’ve had setbacks, and it often feels like two steps forward and oh my God four skips back. We’ve accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. I think it should be the envy of every movement. I think really if you look at the 40 years of LGBT activism we’ve really accomplished a lot. How have things changed? It’s obviously been a big time for homosexual rights. They’re a teachable moment.Ĭlarion: You’ve been a gay activist for a long time. Just like anyone, I do admit my mistakes. So it’s like everything is a learning moment, and it really changes. They were like no more police harassment, but the word tranny is really offensive to a younger generation. For example when we were coming up and we had the stonewall riots, it was with great love and affection that we said the transgendered people – queens, drag queens and we called them trannies – kicked down the doors. There are words that we kind of grew up with and embraced, I’m in my 60s, but kids in their 20s are really offended. If you have those things you can do anything. You have to have the right angle on it, and often the right anger on it. First of all you have to have confidence in it and deliver it competently. If I’ve had really almost disgruntled people coming out of my show going, “I’m a republican, but I really liked it,” I’ve done my job.Ĭlarion: In your opinion is there anything that it’s not okay to joke about? In that moment, ideas come in they might not ordinarily entertain. I think that people, when they are laughing, are open in a way that they might not be open, because they let down their guard to let a laugh out. I am a job creator, and a comedian.Ĭlarion: Do you think that humor allows you to get a message across you wouldn’t be able to otherwise? Maybe they go to a restaurant, or have to get a babysitter. They can expect to see their friends, and it’s always good to see your friends. But I don’t think they serve drinks at the Barrymore, so no, there wont be any of that.Īlso thinking, because I think you can do those two things at the same time. If it were a bar or restaurant, food products could be blasted out the nose. She is an outspoken lesbian activist and pulls no punches when giving her view of the world. The Clarion was recently able to sit down with Clinton and discussed the following:Ĭlarion: What can people expect when they go to see Kate Clinton? There is little in the world that Clinton cannot find a way to poke fun at. She has written three books and appeared on shows like Rachel Maddow and The Rosie O’Donnel Show. She currently writes for The Progressive, Huffington Post, and on her own website. 17 at the Barrymore Theater.Ĭlinton has a long career in both writing and performing. The humorist and political activist will be visiting Madison on Feb. In a world where people feel the need to watch what they say more than ever, Kate Clinton bucks the trend.
