I think it was in an obit for Larry Kramer where someone described him not only as demanding a seat at the table but actually going out and building the table from scratch and insisting that people sit down with him at it. Miranda’s discussion of his driving desire to be in the room where it happens (as it were) reminds me of that. It’s a good illustration of why representation and diversity not only matters but benefits us all.
