When we first heard we’d be self isolating at home during the pandemic, we thought: great!

The lights on Broadway are dimmed in the early weeks of the coronavisu pandemic: the great playwright and dear family friend Terrence McNally died at the age of 81 as result of complications from COVID-19. As you can imagine, we're deeply saddened by the news.Family are people who share love. I consider Terrence family, in so many ways he was my gay uncle.Back in high school mom and Terrence dated and stayed close friends throughout their lives.Besides writing or being part of hundreds of amazing shows, plays and films, Terrence was someone who made it much much easier for me to come out as gay at the young age of 18.Terrence's plays helped so many wonderful actors launch or reinvigorate their careers including Nathan Lane, Rita Moreno and Chita Rivera.The character of Patricia in "Corpus Christi" is based on my mom Patricia, and the character of Latino performance artist extraordinaire Ramon Fornos in "Love! Valour! Compassion!" is (very loosely) based on me, Fausto Fernós. I'm eternally grateful. Love wins.
