Harvey Fierstein, an award-winning actor and writer, announced on Instagram that he has been banned from the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, citing over ten of his produced theatre shows facing the same fate. Although he didn't specify an exact reason, many of the shows he mentioned include LGBTQ+ themes. Fierstein criticized former President Trump for his perceived threats to free speech and civil rights, warning that such actions mark the end of freedom. In contrast, the Kennedy Center's director Richard Grenell disputed Fierstein's claims of a ban, suggesting it is unfounded.
"I have been banned from The Kennedy Center. How do you think I feel?"
"I have been in the struggle for our civil rights for more than 50 years only to watch them snatched away by a man who couldn't care less."
"This is NOT how it begins. This is how freedom ENDS!"
"Trump may have declared 'woke' as dead in America. We must prove him wrong."
