Sam Smith Didn’t Know LGBT History
Sam Smith naively declared that he might be the first openly gay man to win an Oscar in 2016, which couldn’t have been further from the truth. Openly gay musicians like Elton John and Howard Ashman had both won Oscars for their music before the pop singer. And Dustin Lance Black won an Oscar for writing the film “Milk” in 2009, which was a movie based on the life of gay rights activist Harvey Milk.
