But back then, for members of London’s burgeong gay scene, the arrival of Heaven was the moment when a rich hidn culture beme part of mastream nightlife. ” Ellitt adds that, to mark the big birthday, the club has won permissn to operate as a marriage venue, wh the first ceremony to take place on 15 December, almost exactly 40 years after the openg Heaven’s arrival had an impact, drew on strands of alternative dis culture already threadg through the cy the 12 years sce homosexualy had been crimalised.

Around the same time, I accintally-on-purpose stumbled upon my first gay books the YA sectn of my beloved hometown library — David Levhan’s Boy Meets Boy and The Realm of Possibily, Sara Ryan’s Emprs of the World, Stephen Chbosky’s Perks of Beg a Wallflower — I also began watchg South of Nowhere, one of The N’s origal pilot, which aired November 2005, follows a teenager named Spencer Carl (Gabrielle Christian) who mov om the middle of nowhere, Oh, to Los Angel wh her parents and her two teen brothers, Glen (Chris Hunter) and Clay (Danso Gordon).

)South of Nowhere, like Degrassi: The Next Generatn — another show I disvered and fell love wh, thanks to The N — was a melodrama about Issu: racism, adoptn, homophobia, teen pregnancy, domtic vlence, sex and dgs and iendship and romance.

It’s a much harsher realy of home life than the glossy, platudal 7th Heaven — and perhaps, for many viewers, a ter I got olr, I’d bee exhsted by the realy that the few gay narrativ about young people that make to the mastream, even now, are often rife wh pa and sufferg.
