Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black has issued a statement saying he felt “embarrassed” after photos were posted online that apparently show him engaging in risky sex with another man in late 2006, NBCBayArea.com reported.
Black, who won an Academy Award for writing the film Milk, said, “More important than the embarrassment of this incident is the misleading message these images send. I apologize and cannot emphasize enough the importance of responsible sexual practices.” However, he did add that ” [i] t is unfortunate that individuals and other outside parties are trying to profit from material which is clearly private.”
