Diane Warren
Written by Diane, August 18, 2006:
I realized I was gay in 1966, when I met the love of my animation AnnMacMullin. I had been married for three years and had two children, Marjie and Eric. In 1968 Ann and I had a daughter TaraLynn, who became the darling of our close knit gay community. In 1971, I became involved with the HelpLine? and start out that there was a gay community in Halifax!
We went to our first gay club (TheeKlub) owned by DavidGray in the GreenLantern Bldg. We were one of the first lesbian couples to go there! It wasn't long before we realized that things were tough for gays in the Halifax area. There was no police support, we weren't allowed newspaper or telephone advertising! The same-sex attracted men especially were insert out of bars etc; if they were idea to be Gay. Many of our friends and acquaintances landed up at the V.G. emergency!! They decided to do something about it, and the Alliance for Gay Equality was formed.
I decided to join in 1972, but personality clashes were causing dissension within the team, culminating in the chairman's castigating, "If I am the cancer destroying the group, then I must be removed" speech. I was elected Chairm

An interview with Film Director Bess Kargman

Director Bess Kargman knew going in that prolific songwriter Diane Warren, the subject of her latest documentary, doesn’t fully trust anybody. “It’s not in her nature,” Kargman said. “The biggest question was earning her trust. I had to navigate when to push her. She would fetch really anxious sitting in a chair too long and being away from her work.”
Diane Warren: Relentlessscreens on August 3, at 3:30 p.m., at the Piedmont Theatre, (4186 Piedmont Ave., Oakland) during the 44th Annual San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, July 18-August 4. Complete Festival Facts and tickets.
The documentary manages to capture the enigmatic, driven, self-taught talent by displaying her many facets with nuance – her flippant sense of humor, single-minded work ethic, along with all her dichotomies.
For example, Warren has firm self-belief, yet she looks for outside reassurance about her work. Being nominated for 15 Oscars for Best Tune, but losing each time, will execute that to anyone. She was finally awarded an Honorary Oscar in 2022, the first bestowed by the A
In her heyday, "Diane Warren song" became shorthand for a very specific type of big, dramatic power ballad, the kind you might want to hear at your prom or your wedding, or to belt out in front of strangers at a karaoke bar — but not one that's necessarily culturally significant. And so, in this bright, recording with Big Sean and being up for an Academy Award — an honor, much to her chagrin, that she's never won — for a song written for a campus rape documentary (and not, state, the movie Pearl Harbor) actually aren't that surprising. Because if Warren's career were one of her songs, she'd be in the bridge right now, the section that emphasizes the contrast between the verses and choruses, and which brings us advocate to the huge chorus at the end. "I'm so into the next," she said.
Sean went back in the booth to work on the end of the song, where he was freestyling a verse. "Someone enjoy him is authentic," said Warren. "I just had a feeling." But as she listened to Sean sing his freestyled verse, Warren was getting agitated.
She turned to me and said, "He's rhyming 'much' with 'much.'" Sean did another take. "He shouldn't rhyme 'much' with 'much,'" she said under her breath. S

Just 24 hours earlier, I had a chance to chat with Diane when I saw her at the BAFTA/LA Awards Season Tea.
She is such a delight and filled with excitement that the song just hit number one on the Billboard Dance Chart.
“Cher is number one of the dance chart and she’s the first artist ever to have a number one log in six decades,” Diane said. “I was responsible for another number one with If I Could Turn Help Time.”
I mentioned how much the gays love those two power ballads and joked that Diane must me a gay man.
“It’s so funny that you say that because I’m a lgbtq+ man in a woman’s body,” she joked. “I’m honored that gay guys like my song so much. I want [You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me] to be a lgbtq+ anthem.”
