He enters the race with key endorsements from
Georgia Equality and the

By Project Q Atlanta | Jul 16, 2009 | 9:00 PM
You’d think the folks at
Actor’s Express might take a little break and recharge their batteries.
But the dynamic theater company -- fresh from the highly-successful run of the highly-gay “Zanna, Don’t!” -- is busily preparing for its 22nd season on the stage of its West Midtown complex.
The season launches late next month with a seven-week run of the hit Broadway musical “Grey Gardens.” Throw in a love triangle with a lesbian twist, the homoerotic setting of an all-male prep school, a priest on furlough and a buxom actress in a slasher movie attempting to keep her pill-popping mom in check and you’ve got yourself a season full of entertainment.

But that he has this much money -- Perry made $75 million last year -- means the glass closet in which he lives is, well, a really, really nice one. It's in Buckhead, of course.
