Are you like me and just insanely tired of hearing about Brad and Jen, Brad and Angelina, Tom and Katie, etc. I mean, truly, what do these "stars" stand for other than being completely plastic representations of culture.I am completely nauseated by it all and I am on a mission to find someone better.
I recently became reacquainted with Hong Kong born actor Leslie Cheung. A man who was both talented and inspiring. He was a brilliant actor and singer who made over 50 movies and released 30 songs in his career. But what makes him truly great is his bravery to come our as a bisexual man.
In spite of his coming out, Cheung was still widely accepted and loved by his fans and after his tragic suicide his partner was not only allowed to be the executor of his estate, but was listed in his full page Hong Kong newspaper obituary, as his surviving spouse.
This is a man who talent and courage should be admired. I know I do.
