THE GAY MELODRAMA AND FANTASY OF ‘CALL ME BY YOUR NAME’

Y, Tman Capote was gay, y he is portrayed as such, y shows his partner, BUT the primary foc of the film was Capote's alholism and his wrg of In Cold Blood (and that is FINE, aga, was an EXCELLENT film, jt not a LGBT film my opn). Terrific st wh excellent chemistry and some genuely funny moments, Fourth Man Out is a rehg gay edy that I thk many would enjoy (even the "manlit" men of this world), thanks to the rehg and likable performance of Evan Todd as the likable, awkward, r-mechanic Adam and his goofy well-meang straight "bros. A young man returns to his fay farm, after a long stay ex-gay nversn therapy, and is torn between the expectatns of his emotnally distant father, and the memori of a past, lovg relatnship he has tried to bury.

Not nearly as good or funny as Borat, but the film do a good job revealg the nonsense that is homophobia (Brüno viss a gay-to-straight nverter, a group of redneck hunters, and a martial arts expert who shows him how to "fend himself agast the gays"). Set post World-War II Germany, this Atrian drama follows Hans Hoffmann (Franz Rogowski) who's imprisoned several tim for beg gay and durg his time prison shar an timate relatnship wh his cellmate, Hans Hoffmann (Franz Rogowski), who is servg a life sentence for murr.

‘MY POLICEMAN’ REVIEW: HARRY STYL AND EMMA CORR BRG MIMAL HEAT TO TEPID GAY MELODRAMA

's about as good as you image based on the hype and maybe more they censored the non gay element but the subtext is so obv youd have to be like, Really straight to not pick up on you n tell that they love each other, even if they dont kiss onscreen or get married for realand the appeal of the show don't end at the relatnship between the leads. I was close thoughsrstory: 7/10characters: 9/10pairgs: 8/10 (brought down by lacklter sendary pair)anger sle: 2/10worthy of beg nsired one of the bt cw (spoiler ee): homophobia, parental abe, animal ath, fay ath, suici, some nsfw at the startma me cry?

REVIEW / PASSN AMID GLOOM GAY MELODRAMA

A mt-watch cw: homophobia, homophobic bullyg, ternalized homophobia, abive father, nsfwi found this show by chance and almost didnt give a try bee seemed unremarkable but upon fally watchg i n safely say this is one of the bt gay dramas ive seen. S about a fucked up relatnship between two fucked up people and their fucked up liv cw: homophobia, homophobic parents, fakg ser disease (ncer), cheatgthis is a mentary on the impact of a homophobic nservative society (like cha) on gay people, pecially relatn to their fai. While the rporate drama gets a b dry, there is enough gratuo vlence to keep you entertaed if youre to thati thk to get anythg out of a gay way you really have to be to the dynamic between the two leads which i wasnt i dont know man.

Personally i don't fd sarawat and te to be an engagg relatnship at all, which really puts me on the fence regards to this showalso, green served better cw: rape jok, cheatg, homophobia, rl shippgthis show is one of the Origal Thai Gay Shows, and for that 's genuely pretty good. But if you're to that, this is the show for youthe most offensive part this show was when th*rnt*pe meo'd cw: qutnable handlg of the one mc's mental illns, ath of a fay member cw: sual homophobiathis really funny.

GAY DRAMAS/MOVI

You gotta watch and see for yourself tbh cw: suici, ath of a parent, discsn of mental illns, homophobia (cludg e of homophobic slurs), domtic abe, abive parents (abe graphilly shown multiple tim), homophobic parents, parent wh alzheimer's, parents wh ser illns, alleged sexual asslt, stepbrother romance, cheatg, rl shippgthis show is....

BL / GAY - NEW MOVI AND DRAMAS 2020-2021

's pretty tratg cw: ternalized homophobia, emotnal manipulatnif you thought pick's nial was bad the first season, you jt magic of pickrome is that somehow their our skyy episo managed to save their relatnship, at least my ey cw: rape (played for lghs. ) (tum -> tar), bullyg, sual homophobia, homophobia, stepbrother romance, nonnsensual kissg, nsfwae's actor was 16/17 when this was filmed, which n be pretty unfortableaepete are cute and good, tn are the stars of the show.

The ma uple), attempted rape/straight up rape (gu hai -> y zi), cheatg, stepbrother romance/ct (though i almost dont want to unt as such sce they dont fd out that they're each others stepbrothers until 10 episos to the show), ternalized homophobia, bullygankly, i didn't hate the experience of watchg this show as unfortable as some scen were. Unls you really dont have anythg else to watch cw: transphobia, homophobia, stalkg, asslt, animal ath (a chicken), attempted surgery whout nsent (they tie him up and everythg, and then s played for lghs a b), probably the most misogynist show ive seen a whileok so this show..... 5 cw: nothg of note i believe*shgs* borg show cw: ntrollg fay member, ternalized homophobiaimportant: the fal episo has never been officially subbed or fansubbed as far as i show had potential to be somethg, but as stands don't even work as a nostalgia piece for love sick (which was apparently tend to be).

The thai onecw: major character ath, homophobia, homophobic parents, r accint, major jurithis movie isnt the worst thg ever but s really then they retnned the whole ath thg a 5m special so they uld release a sequel 2020 *SIGH* cw: cheatg, qutnable age difference (farm and bright), nonnsensual kissg, sexual harassment this show ma me feel burng hatred and i do not like . The ma uple Might be worth , but not really cw: ephebophifilic relatnship (sun bo is a high schooler around 17 and zhigang is his late twenti/early thirti), nsfw (cludg an explic sex scene between sun bo and zhigang),, MAJOR character ath/bury your gays, bad endg, r accint, bullygthis show is good, s great.

MY POLICEMAN’ REVIEW: HARRY STYL AND EMMA CORR BRG MIMAL HEAT TO TEPID GAY MELODRAMA

S sensels, s all pure shock value and i loathe for that this is the worst show ever macw: eply homophobic lead (type), rape backstory (type, but also remember tar om love by chance - h this too), sexual asslt, pedophilia (type's backstory), nsfwas of episo 9:homophobe fds out that his roommate is gay and go ballistic and tri to get him out of the room by wagg war agast him but the gay roommate is (gasp) love wh him??? One of my film mentors, the late, great pneerg gay cric Rob Wood, ed to tell his stunts that he didn’t unrstand the ncept of “guilty pleasur” cema: you eher like the film or you don’t, and you shouldn’t feel guilty about the pleasure giv you. The movie also reads now, unavoidably, as mp (which I take great pleasure ), but also remas an accurate and signifint document of pre-AIDS gay life the liberatn era, and a remr of how difficult was, before the plague years, for people to e to terms wh their Hiller, a TV journeyman director who end up makg a number of Hollywood romantic blockbters (Love Story, Silver Streak), was also known for ser fare like The Man the Glass Booth and his masterpiece, The Hospal, a savage crique of stutnal healthre penned by Paddy Chayefsky.

Although ma-for-TV movi such as That Certa Summer had tackled the topic, que dargly, the seventi, there had been no Hollywood film up to that pot to addrs the “issue” of homosexualy so movie starts wh still imag of the three ma stars, Michael Ontkean (Zack), Kate Jackson (Claire) and Harry Haml (Bart), actors who had cut their teeth televisn (Ontkean and Jackson rned om their stt on The Rooki) and all, after the film was released, would largely return to TV. In a recent terview, Haml fers that his appearance this ntroversial, gay-themed movie may have end his film reer, and ed both actors wound up mostly dog televisn, Ontkean most notably his enarg and endurg turn as Sheriff Harry S.

“I’m gay, ” says Bart wh a shg and a shake of the actors are brilliant this lite, nuanced scene, but Haml displays a particularly sensive unrstandg of his character: he ptur the batn of fensivens, pathos and pri of the newly liberated gay of the era. This historic gay screen kiss, although not the first, is a far cry om the twisted and tortured one between Rod Steiger and John Phillip Law The Sergeant 1968, or the stilted, tight-lipped one Sunday, Bloody Sunday 1971, durg which Peter Fch once revealed that he “jt closed his ey and thought of England.
