By Chris Azzopardi Judith Light got her start on One Life to Live
in 1977 as housewife-turned-prostitute Karen Wolek, but the luminous screen and stage actress couldn't be confined to a daytime soap. Her boundless range and abundant empathy for others are suffused into nearly a half-century's worth of characters she's played with the same gentle spirit that greeted me on the phone recently. Her role on the classic 1980s sitcom Who's the Boss? further established her as one of our great leading ladies. That success, in particular, gave the LGBTQ activist a platform to become one of only a few celebrities willing to speak out on HIV/AIDS during the height of the pandemic. Somehow, though, it always seems like Judith Light is just getting started. At 70 years old, an age when many actresses can't find screen work, Light has been doing some of her very best. As Marilyn
34 | Hotspots.LGBT
Miglin, the wife of one of serial killer Andrew Cunanan's victims, she was devastatingly perfect in Ryan Murphy's The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. With just a brief role in two episodes, she still managed to catch the attention of Emmy voters, who nominated her for her portrayal of the distraught cosmetics entrepreneur. In addition to the two consecutive Daytime Emmy Awards she won for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for playing Karen Wolek, Light also received two nominations for her portrayal of Shelly Pfefferman, the wife of Maura, a trans woman, on Transparent. Her latest role in the indie dramedy Before You Know It has her coming full circle: Light plays Sherrell, an aging soap star trying to rise above Hollywood's ageist and sexist attitudes. Sherrell becomes an important figure in the lives of Rachel Gurner (Hannah Pearl Utt, who directed and co-wrote the feature), a lesbian
And she's so glam. Over the years you've rocked some glam looks – did you have a style vision for Sherrell?
No, actually, we didn't. We looked at different pictures of soap stars and their hair and we thought, “Oh, this could be really good.” But we had to be very careful that we weren't going to go make her a caricature and go over the top. Hannah really had a lot to do with the look and the wardrobe. She didn't want her to be something that was goofy or weird, none of us did. If you're playing a soap opera character, someone who's on a soap opera, you have to be really careful and appropriate so that it's a real person, not just someone who's somebody you can write off easily. (Sherrell) was created with a kind of expansiveness and understanding of who she actually is and what her life was like and what her choices were. It's a very real person.
I did totally eat up all the very good-bad dialogue you got to deliver as Sherrell during the soap scenes, and with such fun melodrama in the first scene. And in that fur! Then she slaps her co-star because she thinks the scene needs it. It seemed like you were having fun.
stage manager, and her sister, Jackie (co-writer Jen Tullock), as they reconnect with the actress, their presumed-deceased mother. Recently, Light spoke warmly about how her role as Sherrell reflects this latest feminist wave and the evolution of LGBTQ characters in her work. Then, because Judith Light can't be contained, and because sometimes she's a life coach, she waxed poetic about believing in the power of possibility.
Sherrell is like an onion being peeled back as the movie progresses.
That's a great way to describe it, Chris. Thank you. That's so great that you saw it, because that was in the writing, which was the way we developed the character from the very beginning.
But Judith, I do want a full order of soaps starring Sherrell. I want more wigs and more sassing young girls on the street who are getting her autograph for their grandma.
(Laughs) How divine, right?
Oh, it's a joy. That's also great writing, that's also when Jen and Hannah were putting it all together and we were all talking about it together. We were really talking to each other about the characters, what they would do, where they would go and how they would be perceived.
Not that you've slapped someone, but have you ever gotten so carried away as a particular character in a scene that you just lost yourself in that character and abandoned the script because something else felt right?
Never.
No?
No, no. That's not professional. I would never do that. Now, when we would do scenes on Transparent, would we know the dialogue? Absolutely. Would we abandon it at certain points? And would Jill (Soloway, the Transparent creator) feed us different things or would we throw in different ideas? Absolutely. Anything like that has to be done under the framework of safety – that everybody feels safe – and in the context of never going beyond or making anyone feel scared or treating someone improperly. To me, it's unacceptable. You just don't do that.
There's nothing more important on a set than making sure everybody feels safe.
Have you ever witnessed that happen on a set before, though? No.
It just happens in Sherrell's world.
But look at what's happening to her: She knows that things are falling apart. She knows that she's not being paid attention to. It doesn't come out of nothing and nowhere; it comes out of this desire to be seen, to be heard, to be relevant, to be young, to be cool, to be chic, to be trendy, and to be everything.
She's fighting for her dignity.
Absolutely. Perfectly said.
Well, it's very palpable. What's your take on her attitudes about how women have to be portrayed to be considered desirable?
That's out of the way the world and the culture are. That's what she's been taught, that's what she knows. That's all she knows.
How do you feel that's relevant to the real world?
She doesn't fit anymore as she's getting older, and that's frightening for her. She feels uncertain and scared. These are a lot of things that a lot of women are experiencing right now, and that's probably what made this such a valuable project to me, to show that. All women are going through this at a certain age, feeling less behind and not relevant. Feeling the connection with my women friends and women in general – we are holding ourselves in a different framework now. We are standing in a very different – no pun intended – light, to really demonstrate to ourselves and to the world who we actually are. Those things that the culture has, in some cases, smothered us with and had us be quiet about, we are no longer doing that. We're not victims; we're powerful. And I think that's what you see Sherrell learn as the movie goes on.

footnote – we're seeing a lot more of that, where LGBTQ characters are written into a story without their sexuality being a focus of the story. Is that something you appreciated about Before You Know It? Hello!
I know, being a gay icon, I figured as much.
Honey, I'm not an icon.
I can call you an icon.
Well, thank you. But of course it's like, “Oh, OK, so she's looking for a girlfriend; so what about any of that? So what.” That is something that I love about this, and that's very much Hannah and Jen. It's not a focus. Listen, in the early days, we had to do that. We had to make it pointed. It had to be about that. Now, there's an incorporation of the LGBTQ community into the world where it doesn't have to be outlined and highlighted in some way. Now, look, in some places it still does. I don't know if you saw Frank Bruni's column (“Hate Is So Much Bigger Than Trump”) in The New York Times, but it's really powerful. We forget that people still relate to the LGBTQ community in the way that these people had written letters to him about him being gay and it's so lovely that we could do that in this film. But it's still not where the world needs to be, and you know that, and I know that.
I'm curious about how you make the choices you do, because your motivations are striking and admirable. What boxes do you have to check before you sign on to a project these days?
Thank you for noticing, and yes, I've had some really wonderful things come my way. There's been some real shifts for me since Ugly Betty happened. It's always the character for me. It's always, “Who is this person? How is this person there to serve the piece? How is this person someone that could wake up the audience to what they might be seeing or feeling in their own lives? How does it translate for them?” So
I've always got the audience in my mind as I'm looking at something: “How does this make a difference? How does this matter? Who are the people I am working with?” When you get to work with people like Jill Soloway and Ryan Murphy, you're in a rarefied atmosphere. Right now I'm doing a project (Manhunt: Lone Wolf) with a wonderful producer, Michael Dinner, and it's about the Olympic bombing in Atlanta in 1996.
What clicked for you about Ryan Murphy's upcoming Netflix show The Politician?
I actually can't tell you a lot, but Bette (Midler) and I, last November and December, we shot the last episode of the first season and now we will start shooting the second season sometime this fall, where it's Ben (Platt) and Bette and me and just a bunch of others. So I don't know! I just don't know where they're going to go with this. When it drops, you'll be able to see what kind of character I'm actually playing.
With Transparent ending, what about Shelly are you going to miss the most?
Everything. I love her. And it's so funny, because in the beginning people used to say to me, “Oh my god, I can't stand her. She drives me crazy.” Then they would say, “... and I love her so much.” It's true, there's this gentle, fragile soul underneath all of that craziness, pushing people away and telling
L to R: Hannah Pearl Utt, Judith Light and Jen Tullock.
people what to do. And yet, I've had people say to me, “My relationship with my mother changed after falling in love with Shelly.” I love that about her. That's a great creation. That's a woman in her mature years who finally gets to have her voice back, and in so many ways. I just trust that it will be that for so many people who see this musical finale, that there's a real sense somewhere that they'll miss her too, but they will be reminded of who she actually is and the joy of her.
When we last spoke, it was just after I watched the very first episode of Transparent. I told you the kindness, love, empathy and compassion of the show really resonated with me. Now, we're at the end. What do you hope the legacy of Transparent will be?
All of what you just said. All of that. From the very first to the very – to this completion. Mind you, with every ending is a beginning, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was more that came about within the structure of this. Wouldn't surprise me at all if there was more.
Are you hinting that the cast may reunite down the line for more episodes?
No, no! I'm not hinting. I'm just saying – look, things like that cannot be contained, and there is always the possibility. I am a big proponent of possibility. I'm not making definitive statements about anything – about the ending or the beginning or the anything. Seriously, I don't know. And I'm not being coy. I just don't know
anything. However, I hold the world in a way that allows for all kinds of possibilities, all kinds of openness to things, and I'm always surprised by how things turn out. I was just talking to somebody about it, and I've said it in several interviews recently because it seems so apt to me in relating around Transparent, which is that: Soren Kierkegaard, the philosopher, said that, “Life can only be understood backward; but it must be lived forward.” We all think, “We know this.” We don't know anything.
As I get older, I keep thinking, “Well, maybe I'll know more next year.”
No, honey. No! And hopefully you won't. It's not about imposing what you think in your mind is gonna happen. Whoever thought we were gonna get marriage equality? I mean, look at that. Look at what it took to get that. So you cannot make blanket statements about how things are gonna be. We're all looking for that because in the structure of the human condition, we don't like uncertainty. It's scary. We think we have to know. Well, what would happen if we all didn't have to know? Didn't have to make statements about things that it had to be a particular way? What if we could just stay in the place of being completely open?
It's getting to that place that is the real journey and the real struggle.
It's not actually a journey – it can literally happen right now. If you could choose to let go of the mind that got programmed to tell you that you have to know everything or think about everything and be on top of everything and be perfect about everything, what would life be like? Who would you be? You would be somebody that you already are and forgot you were.

Things That Make You Go
Hmmm…
By Troy Maillis
Duh…... It’s Like a Famous Quote
Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Mike Royko once quipped, “If God dislikes gays so much, how come he picked Michelangelo, a known homosexual, to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling while assigning Anita [Bryant] to go on TV and push orange juice?” Paul Newman, who played “Brick” in Tennessee William’s “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” said, “By the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant.” Source: Funtrivia.com
Dancin’ Up a Storm
For whatever reason we’re still not quite sure about, Good Morning America host Lara Spencer literally LOL’d at the news that Prince George was taking ballet classes—a disgusting example of stereotyping. And of course the internet—especially the dance community—weren’t having any of it! The response: A fabulous flash dance mob featuring 300 dancers in the middle of Times Square the following week. Since then Ms. Spencer has tried to make amends with the dance community: “I screwed up, I did,” Spencer said. “The comment I made about dance was insensitive, it was stupid, and I am deeply sorry. I’ve spoken with several members of the dance community over the past few days. I have listened. I have learned about the bravery that it takes for a young boys to pursue a career in dance.” Hopefully she—and everyone else—have learned that a young boy pursuing his passion is NEVER a bad thing.

Disorder in the Court
Seeking asylum in another country is a hot topic all around the world right now, and a British judge has used the most ludicrous reason to deny asylum to a gay man seeking refuge. The reason? The man didn’t “act effeminate enough.” Rehana Popal, the lawyer defending the man in the case, argued the decision was based on stereotyping and homophobia. “He has taken a stereotype, used it as a benchmark and compared my client to it,” Popal said to the Guardian. “That is totally wrong. You do not need to dress a certain way, carry yourself a certain way or look a certain way to be homosexual. The only thing that makes a person gay is if they are attracted to someone of the same gender.” Source: Queerty.com

At what age did you begin skating and how did it happen?
I was born in DR and we never have wintrer there, so I was not exposed to skating. When I was 10, my mom mwanted to move back to her home town in Canada, and during my irst winter winter the beautiful pond ouside of our house froze over and I begged my mom for skates….she got me soccer skates, and I started. A few months later she took me to an arena to watch a skating show and I fell in love with skating.
What was the first time you were paid to skate?
Disney On Ice was my irst paid gig, and that was when I was 17.
When did you realize that skating would be your career?
When I irst competed everything was not to serious, but when I got better it became to much pressure to compete. However, I loved performing, so I applied to Disney on Ice and when they hired me I knew skating would be my career.
What is your favorite part about performing?
Whenever I go out there, especially as Woody, the audience is so into it, I love watching the kids faces.

LOG CABIN REPUBLICANS
A
day after it was announced that the Trump Administration was planning on making it easier for federal contractors to discriminate against LGBTQ workers, the Log Cabin Republicans did the only thing that made sense: they endorsed him wholeheartedly. In a very out-of-touch opinion piece in the Washington Post, LCR Chair Robert Kabel and Vice Chair Jill Homan wrote, "Since taking office, President Trump has followed through on many of his commitments to the United States, including taking bold actions that benefit the LGBTQ community.” Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Trump's administration is the most antiLGBTQ, like, ever. He's appointed a score of anti-LGBTQ judges, kicked transgender service members to the curb, endorses anti-LGBTQ candidates, supports socalled “religious freedom” laws that are a pass for discriminating against LGBTQ employees and customers. That's just a partial list. He is literally working to undo every gain LGBTQ people made under President Obama. But please, LCR chairs, do enlighten me about his “bold actions that benefit the LGBTQ community.” Trump has “committed to end the spread of HIV/AIDS in 10 years, through the use of proven science, medicine and technology,” they write. First of all, the distrust of science by Republicans has only accelerated under President “Windmills Cause Cancer” Trump. Republicans also have vowed to do away with the Affordable Care Act, which includes protections for pre-existing conditions like HIV/AIDS, not to mention the fact that the ACA

OF THE WEEK BY D'ANNE WITKOWSKI
has allowed many people to access care who previously were unable to get insurance. Oh, and there's the fact that many of Trump's supporters in the religious right still believe that AIDS is God's punishment and that gays are subhuman and sex-crazed and need to pray to Jesus to make them straight. So spare me the “Trump is going to end AIDS” bullshit. Kabel and Homan also claim that “Trump has used the United States' outsize global influence to persuade other nations to adopt modern human rights standards, including launching an initiative to end the criminalization of homosexuality.” Ah yes, no doubt other countries are looking to the U.S. for pointers on how to elevate human rights standards. Maybe the globe will be inspired by how Trump has earned the adoration of literal Nazis and helped to embolden white supremacist terrorists. Or maybe they are jealous of our “guns are more important than human lives” policies. Surely the world is impressed that Trump is cracking down on asylum seekers and immigrants by taking their children and locking them in baby jails with no plans for how to reunite these families. Actually, Kabel and Homan likely see his treatment of immigrants as a plus. “His hard line on foreign policy has protected LGBTQ lives,” they claim. Trump's foreign policy has protected LGBTQ lives? Was it when he tried to goad North Korea's Kim Jong Un into war via Twitter? Or was it when he scrapped the Iran nuclear deal and seemed hip to go to war with them, too? Was it when he declared that Russia, a country that has extremely punitive
anti-gay laws, was America's BFF? The fact is, Trump's policies have made Americans less safe at home and abroad. We are literally the laughingstock of the world because we have such a supremely stupid and vile president. Trump makes the nation weak. Kabel and Homan also claim that Trump's “tax cuts have benefited LGBTQ families and helped put food on their tables” and his “aggressive negotiations on trade deals have preserved LGBTQ jobs.” Sure, Jan. If you're wondering why LCR would embrace such a destructive and hateful administration, Kabel and Homan make the argument that things aren't as bad as they were, therefore they're good as they are. “For LGBTQ Republicans, watching the 2016 GOP convention before Donald Trump took the stage was like a dream fulfilled,” they wrote. “The distance between that event and Pat Buchanan's hate-filled exhortation against the LGBTQ community in Houston in 1992 is a powerful measurement of how far we've come.” Ah. So because the GOP put gay billionaire Peter Thiel on stage at their convention instead
of hate troll Pat Buchanan all is well and good? Regardless of who they put on stage, the Republican platform for 2016 was the most anti-LGBTQ platform ever. Even worse than in 1992. Just because the GOP realized that public homophobic hate is a bad look doesn't mean they don't still embrace it in private and enact policies that advance their anti-LGBTQ agenda. Look, just because you're in a relationship where your partner used to punch you in the face on the regular but now only slaps you sometimes doesn't mean your relationship has gotten better. And yet here are the Log Cabin Republicans not only accepting their abuse but praising their abuser. And that hurts all of us who are in this relationship involuntarily and desperately want to break up. D'Anne Witkowski is a poet, writer, and comedian living in Michigan with her wife and son.
