I think power dressing today is about self-expression rather than uniformity or conformity. It is about having the confidence to express your own identity. So there has been a 180-degree turnaround from the 1980s. I think that is a very positive change.
This from the man who hasn’t changed his black t-shirt in 5000 years?

I’m proud to say I was in the protests against “Cruising” while it was being made in Greenwich Village. At that time, there were almost no fucking movies with a gay character in them, and Hollywood was giving us only films with gay murderers and gay murder victims. “Cruising” continued that trend, and they should have been ashamed of themselves for making it. Hollywood was demonizing gays, teaching America to fear and hate us. Today the film can be viewed differently, but in 1979 it was hideous that they made it.
