Angels in America by Tony Kushner

A national identity built around movement comes to the ultimate stopping point of death. How do we respond?

Roy Kohn is America. He lost but he won but he lost. Bullshit wordsmith who knows power is language, language is everything, and truth is nothing. But language absent truth leads to contradiction. A man who persecuted LGBTQ+ people was himself a gay man who refused an ounce of solidarity. Louis, here, is a baby Kohn — a man who says a lot but means nothing and has an empty heart. These are two people who want everything to remain as it is but that is impossible.

God moved on. So too must we.
