juju 18,907 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I just wanna know why every gay coming of age story - aside from, like, two - all have the same type of white boy lead. The gay experience growing up has so little to do with having a perfectly symmetrical and generically attractive face, give me diversity, give me grit, give me stories about the other 99% of the LGBT community who aren't as conforming / masc acting / so unbearably cis. Tired of settling for stories that are force-fed to us as if we are supposed to appreciate it. Like we are supposed to be happy with receiving scraps at the dinner table, just because it's about a gay. I've yet to read too much into this story, so it has the chance of surprising me, I just want to know why on the surface, I'm always seeing the same kinds of stories being told. ❤ x ❤ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also want to see gay actors playing gay roles, not straight actors who think they're making brave decisions by choosing to play gay characters. Like I'm serious about my craft, and I want to pick challenging roles, so I'm going to play a gay character. Just because it's about a gay boy doesn't necessarily mean it's good. And I'm not saying that straight actors shouldn't play gay characters, I'm saying that most times it's always a straight actor playing one, gay actors are available too you know.

It's honestly why I'm not even excited to see it even though I'd normally be interested. I feel like I already know whats going to happen because I've already seen more or less the same plot and narrative in like 30 other gay movies. Every gay coming of age story depicted in a movie (that I have seen so far) has been such a painfully narrow narrative and perspective that it honestly makes me feel ... like shït in comparison. I don't want to cry underrepresentation for a category thats already criminally underrepresented as it is, but yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 96,325 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 It is just another tokenism on a movie to me. I am sure there are way better to put LGBTQ into Hollywood movies the genuine way.
