“If only I would have had this feeling of acceptance and belonging, how different my life would have been. I felt that when we were shooting it. I went to my junior prom and the next day my parents took me to a psychiatrist to cure me. Thankfully, I had a really good shrink, who at the end of our several sessions called my parents in and said, ‘You have a choice here: You can try and change him and lose him, or you can accept him and love him.’ I was very blessed. When I went to my senior prom, I had been through that but I still took a girlfriend because I wasn’t allowed to come in with my fellow. The Prom is very emotional for me, as you can tell.”–Director/producer Ryan Murphy, to The Hollywood Reporter revealing that his parents tried to cure his sexuality. Murphy says his latest outing The Prom about gay high schoolers going to prom together helped him come to terms with his own painful memories of high school.

Dang those parents who don’t get it. So sad he had to endure that bs through high school. But sounds like he had a fellow so that’s good.
I’m sure the sex was, how did it go, “of which thou shall not speak its name”, was heavenly.
I’m really looking forward to another Murphy hit.

So is that why he likes to whitewash and and revise history in his “based on truth television series’” ie Feud and Hollywood?

When I’m really bored I read about people who I don’t know and could care less about. That might sound a little harsh, but really, how much do these people really matter to anyone?
