Didymus 33,139 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Those shows actually proved that straight people are just as gross if not more so than the clichés of gay wh-res 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imnotyourbabe10 6,020 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Thatâs an interesting point. A few thoughts. I agree with the other posts. This sounds like it would also be criticized in the vein of the hetero counterparts. Also, there is nuance to gay lived experiences that are continuously reified by social interaction and construction. It breaks my heart to see the binary thinking, misogyny, internalized homophobia, racism, etc. that permeates our queer circles. (And to the other end, not being queer enough or performing the identity in an âacceptableâ). I donât know the show well enough, but I wonder why queer people would want to participate in some garbage produced by the dominant group (rich straight Hollywood?). For the sake of visibility or equality? Eek. Lastly, donât most of us know these shows arenât reality? Why are we still consuming these products that say one thing while our daily lives offer us a different experience? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenegAde 16,606 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago It will definitely not be a cute look for us but that should not validate homophobia. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
