However, there's an unfortable difference how he talked about his gay role when talkg to a mastream dience and a gay dience.

All of that asi, Ellt was livg a closeted life as a homosexual mutg between hom Bensonhurst, Brooklyn and the Catskills.
As he tells the story his 1994 book, Knock on Woodstock: The Uproar, Uncensored Story of Woodstock, the Gay Man Who Ma It Happen, and How He Earned his Ticket to Free, Elltt was at the Stonewall rts June 1969 and he brought that activism wh him back to the Catskills that summer. Movie Featur by Ian Cadll on Augt 26th, 2009 at 2:43 PM NEW YORK CITY—When Liev Schreiber was offered a role Ang Lee’s Takg Woodstock, he uld see that the part of Vilma, a gay ex–army officer who drs women’s clothg, uld be plited, given that the film was set 1969—long before pri paras and gay marriage.
In addn, Vilma is a role mol of sorts for Ellt Tiber, the film’s protagonist, a gay man livg wh his parents upstate New York who has ncerns about g out of the closet.
TAKG WOODSTOCK
In a New York Cy hotel room, Schreiber explas that when he was offered the part, he didn’t know much about the era and s gay culture, but he learned, through his rearch, that Vilma would have f the trailer for Takg Woodstock. So you would see guys dog drag wh beards and dog the nn whout unrwear and velopg a new gay culture that they took out on the streets. I was jt trigued by Vilma’s history and wh the ia of him beg a grandfather and a Korean War vet and a prostute and mcle for the gay muny.
