From the Advocate’s Kushner crisis blog (thanks to Ali Gharib):
9:30pm BREAKING: Tony Kushner was kind enough to call the Advocate for an interview, which will run in its entirety tomorrow afternoon at this site and in the hardcopy edition. We are very glad to report now, however, that Mr. Kushner has decided to accept the honorary degree from John Jay, and will speak at the commencement ceremony at the end of May. Very thrilling news!!!
