Fabian parad Mardi Gras almost every year, var edic guis, ually cleril, and ntributed to a range of gay groups, such as Enola Gay anti-nuclear group, GayWav rad and Insi Out prisoners support work wh Kendall Lovett.

In 1985, Enunters, an ABC relign partment TV program featured Fabian’s life story and the ntradictns of beg a homosexual Christian. Well, Curtis Casella and Kyle Cabral set to change that landspe their new project, Paper Boys (lnchg today on Dekkoo, the global streamg platform for gay and queer men), where nearly three quarters of the st and crew are Asian-Amerin, Ain-Ameri, Lato, or seri, which tells the story of Cole, who secretly mov to San Francis unr the guise of attendg his straight bt iend's engagement party bee of his ad-end reer and memori of a past flg New York.

We knew we wanted to make somethg that was a b more exotic than your standard straight, so to speak, drama, which is what almost every gay show seems to we talked about makg a show about a gay vigilante, and I very strongly wanted to make a gay mil, but Kyle rightly suggted that, sce neher he nor I were posers or lyricists, that might be difficult. Kyle is also a talented artist, so f our abili que about the reasong and importance behd showsg a gay-straight male iendship? You often don't see this story The gay-straight iendship is somewhat tobgraphil for both Kyle and me.

‘A FAY LIKE OURS’: PORTRAS OF GAY FATHERHOOD

Both of have really close iends who are straight, and we felt like was somethg we didn't see often enough gay media. It's really tertg to see the vast differenc life experience between gay men and straight men. My bt iend was havg a hard time meetg iends and asked me how I ma them when I moved back to San Francis, and I said, well, I have Grdr, and gay bars, and circu parti, and I jt see people aga and aga and iendships e naturally.

Like, if we uld show a iendship that was platonic between a straight and gay man, might normalize to an extent that 's perhaps not normalized now.

I thk there is still an unrcurrent of maybe tensn gay and straight relatnships - like this feelg on the part of straight men that gay men might eher threaten their masculy, be secretly attracted to them, or both. But this also allows to addrs issu the gay muny that jt wouldn't rg hont wh a st of whe characters - like the racism that exists datg and hookups, ternalized homophobia that some still feel, and them that whe dienc - probably myself clud - wouldn't even thk about bee of the privilege we're born 's also why havg a diverse st is only half of .

GAY PARTI & EVENTS

Bee I thk that's what a lot of have stggled wh as gay men -- and still stggle wh. That we've had to e to terms wh a facet of ourselv that a society built for heterosexuals has forced to 're obvly not gog to reprent all of the facets of the gay experience one show, no matter how diverse our st is. Netflix is great, but much of the gay ntent on there is of the B-movie variety, wh a few notable exceptns.

Heynen said, are imag of gay fathers who aren’t Instagram ready — like two men bg their dghters’ hair or tossg a football the ont yard.
