Friday night he appeared on The Tonight Show, but based on web search, appears the only other time he has discsed the movie and his gay role at length was an terview wh om 's Tonight Show appearance has bee a topic of discsn for gays after Andy Towle lled out the gay panic humor the segment (and we mentned the briefs yterday).

DEMETRI MART TO STAR ANG LEE FILM ABOUT GAY WOODSTOCK FIGURE
Last week I posted about Ang Lee's next project, Takg Woodstock, about gay terr rator, hotel manager, and Bethel, NY Chamber of Commerce head Ellt Tiber and his role facilatg the legendary rock ftival upstate New York. Today, Variety reports that edian Demetri Mart is negotiatns to star the feature: "Mart is bt known for his "Trendspottg" segment on The Daily Show Wh Jon Stewart. Film is based on Ellt Tiber's memoir, which is beg adapted by Foc topper Jam Scham. Tiber wrote the book -- which was published last year -- wh Tom Monte. Mart will star as Tiber, an -the-closet gay man workg at his parents' motel the Catskills, who advertently sets motn the generatn-fg ncert the summer of 1969. Foc is eyeg a late Augt start date. Mart's upg films clu Fox Atomic's The Rocker and Universal's Kids Ameri. He also wrote and is attached to star DreamWorks' Will, which Jon Stewart is exec producg." AFTER THE JUMP, Mart one of his stand-up rout. More on the Woodstock film here. * is demetri martin gay *
There's room to hear gay panic humor or jt awkwardns for Mart takg on his first dramatic, that sounds pretty different om the time he talked to about filmg that scene:There’s a scene where I kiss a guy – the only scene where I have a real kiss – and I’m on a dance floor and the girls pull me to dance wh them my fay’s bar the motel, and they pull me onto the dance and a girl plants a kiss on me and then I ph away om her. ’ Not that tak a gay guy to know that. He turns to a gay man on the crew to make sure his performance me off as thentic.
Disverg he would be playg a gay character wasn't a big al when he talked wh read the book and I’m like, ‘Oh, ’s about the 60s [and] Woodstock.
And then there’s a chapter about beg gay and his first gay experience as like a twelve-year-old kid or somethg Manhattan.

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT MEANS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY FOR SURE IF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO TERVIEWS IS JT A MATTER OF MART BEG A DIFFERENT AME OF MD ON DIFFERENT OCSNS, OR IF 'S A MATTER OF DISCSG THE ROLE DIFFERENTLY TO DIFFERENT {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}MART AND LIEV {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}MART'S TONIGHT SHOW APPEARANCE ISN'T HELPED BY O'NEAL AND O'BRIEN'S ATTEMPTS TO JOKE ABOUT MART PLAYG GAY, AS THEIR GAY PANIC HUMOR LORS IMPRSNS OF HOW MART RETELLS HIS EXPERIENCE. HOWEVER, THERE'S AN UNFORTABLE DIFFERENCE HOW HE TALKED ABOUT HIS GAY ROLE WHEN TALKG TO A MASTREAM DIENCE AND A GAY DIENCE. IN TALKG WH AFTERELTON, HE ARTICULAT AN UNRSTANDG OF WHAT WAS LIKE FOR TOBER TO BE GAY 1969 WHEN POLICE HARASSMENT OF GAY PEOPLE WAS MON. ON THE TONIGHT SHOW, MEANWHILE, PLAYG GAY SOUNDS MORE LIKE AN AWKWARD SOCIAL SUATN TO {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;CLEAR:BOTH;}THE {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;MARG:0 TO;WIDTH:90%;M-WIDTH:288PX;MAX-WIDTH:1440PX;M-HEIGHT:194PX;}LATT NEWS
Unfortunately, that means is impossible to say for sure if the difference between the two terviews is jt a matter of Mart beg a different ame of md on different ocsns, or if 's a matter of discsg the role differently to different and Liev SchreiberMart's Tonight Show appearance isn't helped by O'Neal and O'Brien's attempts to joke about Mart playg gay, as their gay panic humor lors imprsns of how Mart retells his experience.
However, there's an unfortable difference how he talked about his gay role when talkg to a mastream dience and a gay dience. In talkg wh AfterElton, he articulat an unrstandg of what was like for Tober to be gay 1969 when police harassment of gay people was mon.
On The Tonight Show, meanwhile, playg gay sounds more like an awkward social suatn to overe. A dreamtcher works, if your dream is to be gay.
