spost8260 - WOW you really missed alot in Torch Song .. I would suggest you re watch it with a little more joy in your heart and less bias towards sexuality

He was a much loved man, a succesfull man, he found amazing love, adopted a gorgeous son .. he lead a full life which continues with joy after the final scene
your statement "You would HAVE to be born that way to put up with a life like that." is incredibly miopic and indeed offensive
so a person should not be gay in case they kill you or those you love?
That a mother has a hard time accepting him is a reason not to be gay?
That it can be hard to be lucky at love is a reason not to be gay?
The sexuality of the main character(s) is irrelevant in the slice of life story of Arnold and the loves of his life the story would be as poignant if the main characters sexuality were changed, but the strength expressed by our gay lead is the one of the most uplifting truths and I am so thankfull that Harvey wrote and perfomed this wonderful story for us to share
watch it again, and feel the joy and the love that fills this movie even if you have a kleenex in your hand to soak up the innevitable tears (some of them of Joy) -

Not only is he a rather flamboyant and out gay male, on top of being a good actor, he is an amazingly articulate, and passionate activist for LGBT and human rights.
Despite being an out lesbian and having plenty of eye-candy that I would love to meet just to drool over, I'd rather have an evening with Harvey Fierstein, and be able to pick his brain, learn of his life experiences, and glean some wisdom from.
