GROWG UP GAY
Geni Pictur (“Mrs Lowry & Son, ” “Good Luck To You, Leo Gran”) has optned Emmett Monterey’s acclaimed memoir “Go the Way Your Blood Beats” – about growg up gay and disabled 1980s London – for TV adaptatn. At his mastream school, teachers refe to schle his class on the ground floor, and at his llege for disabled stunts, he’s told he will be expelled if the mors are te, if he’s gay.
I grew up the 1960s and 1970s Atralia, a untry that was self g out of the closet, although the closet was heavily fortified and for a long time que imperable when me to s acceptance of gay people.
Growg up gay is very different om growg up straight; your sexualy f you a larger way. On the other hand, growg up gay starts wh a small seed, a feelg that you do not unrstand, and an attractn to the same sex you at first thk is normal. Soon, however, you disver the meang and the realy of this attractn—that beg gay is somethg you should be ashamed of, and, om a relig perspective, somethg seen as evil.
