* two of us gay film *
He is handsome and athletic and believ himself to be gay. I've seen practilly every gay movie that's ever been ma, and I n't thk of any other that giv s lead characters such joyo and yet eply ground eedom.
It's a rare and astonishg gift, even more remarkable the first TV movie ever ma English about gay teens. i keep watchg the old gay films and still have the dacy to be upset when everyone’s homophobic.
That said, you have to feel damn proud that we live a society where such a productn uld be ma to te our that nearly wasn't the se though, thanks to Thatcher's Tory ernment who were the procs of troducg Sectn 28; legislatn which banned schools om teachg gay sex tn. @ The Cema Mm + Q/A wh st and sure which is more surprisg: that the BBC once ed to make films purely to be shown classrooms and stir up discsns among stunts, or that this rather benign story of gay (well, bi you uld say) adolcent love ed such a public fs the prs at the time. Two of bt thg about this was the even more homoerotic take on the Rank stud int om 'Dangero to Know', pre-creds.
