“I have to veritably play a gay character in the ’60s who’s closeted. … I think a lot of people forget before Stonewall, and as someone who doesn’t know a lot about gay history, but I know enough between friends and just history, you do take certain things for granted and I don’t think most people my age or younger quite comprehend just how marginalized people were and how this was treated as a criminal thing and everything.” – comedian Demetri Martin (whose Important Things with Demetri Martin sketch show debuts tomorrow on Comedy Central and who’s in virtually every scene of Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock, coming in August) to After Elton, on playing a gay character in the Woodstock movie.
