When shall it be said in any country of the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance or distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes not oppressive; the rational world is my friend because I am friend of its happiness; when these things can be said, then may that country boast of its constitution and government.

I am perfectly aware that straight men can love musical theater.  I 
often tease my ex-husband that he would have made a great Gay man, 
except for that pesky having sex with men thing.  His usual response is 
"eww" but he is very keen on the genre nonetheless.
