The Oscar-winning screenwriter tells THR about his recovery from a 'frightening' injury, why he took a hands-off approach to Laurent Bouzereau's film about his life and what he hopes viewers take from it.
None of that is why his temperature is rising on this Wednesday morning. Black, best known as Lance rather than Dustin , is turning red while addressing the political landscape and the deep divide that continues to cause concern across all corners, including the LGBTQ community.
“I have a frustration right now that you can probably sense,” he says. “We’ve let this incredible, valuable investigation of our own differences divide us. Increasingly, I see the Ls, the Gs, the Bs and the Ts fighting with one another and falling for it. Investigate your differences, understand them and know that you’re going to have it worse than others and that some of us need to acknowledge that other people have it worse off.
The subject is not far-flung from the film because one of the central lessons he says he learned from his mother, one that is well-documented in, is how to build bridges between people with different beliefs and political persuasions by way of curious and fair-minded conversation.
