I think 'West Side Story' is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, musicals ever put onscreen - or stage, for that matter. I, frankly, like Zeffirelli's 'Romeo and Juliet' very much, too. I grew up with that... I loved it. I loved the score; I loved the acting. Kelly Asbury

The reality is that diversity as an overall subject has to continue to be addressed onscreen. That goes beyond having a gay superhero.

I cannot believe that violence depicted onscreen actually causes people to act out violently. That's oversimplifying the issue.
