Ironically, the musical "Wicked" is at the top of the list of music the Mormons are trying to license.

3. Because they are so "pop-yooo-lar"?
For some reason, that song of Glinda's got a lot of air play when "Wicked" came out.

5. Good. I'm glad to hear that.
I doubt Gregory Maguire, who wrote the book "Wicked" and is openly gay, would appreciate his work being used by bigots. As well as Stephen Schwartz.

Openly gay artists and composers...there goes Stephen Sondheim, Marc Shaiman, Jerry Herman.

Looks like the Mormons will be left with...Andrew Lloyd Webber.

6. I didn't know Maguire was family
I looked at his article in the Wikipedia and sure enough, in the second paragraph of the lede: He has three adopted children and is married to painter Andy Newman.

8. Exactly. Why should they profit from LGBT intelligence and creativity?
Also I think that we should fight the Church on Michaelangelo's work. Fuck em.
