I am a resident of So. California, BTW.) Had the debacle not arisen, and not been so passionately argued (AND picked up in the press in our ever-shrinking-internet-enabled global community), I in all likelyhood would have missed out on this superb film of yours. As a gay man who has been with my partner Randy for the past 17 years of my 42 year existence -- we are blessed with full support from both sides of the family -- I wholeheartedly thank you and Peggy and Damon and Hunter for this wonderful work. Best regards to you all, Charles Barrett (aka Chaz) Dear Tony,

I don't know that we've accomplished much by all this. People think noteriety is easily turned into money, but any high traffic blogger can tell you it's not so. Maybe somewhere in the past, when at little bit of fame wasn't so easy to come by, but not now. Certainly the Australian legislature isn't going to revise any laws on our account. In fact, I'm not even sure what our standing is to be making a fuss in Australian, except that's where this has happened, so that's where we've made our fuss. Perhaps some good will come of it, if not for us, then for someone who comes after us. Maybe their path will be a little easier.

I'm so proud to know you and to have you among my circle of pervert peers. You and your work give hope and pleasure to so many. I'm sorry that this whole affair hasn't ended in the most idyllic fashion because more people deserve to see your films and they deserve to see them ten feet high and luminous. I am, as ever, a proud member of the Comstock Fan Club. Now for that secret handshake... kissykiss, chelsea girl Oh, Tony,
