CUCUMBER IS DISAPPOTG TV – WHICH IS WHY WE NEED MORE GAY DRAMAS

Darg and totally unaaid to be offensive (and this will be very offensive to some) Cucumber is an extraordarily raw and hont look at gay sexualy an over-sexualized world.
It’s hard to overstate the impact of Queer as Folk for those, like me, who grew up gay the late 90s. The sharply wrten and unpromisg cktail of hedonism, humour and human drama saw mastream TV feature gay characters whout rortg to phemism or uchg their sexualy terms of shame or tragedy.

The first is disappotment that the show’s characters portray a negative image of gay men as sex-obssed narcissists. The send argu that Cucumber shouldn’t have to be all thgs to all gay people.

We should be celebratg the fact that a show unpromisgly gay enough to feature a lengthy monologue about Ryan Reynolds’ penis is beg aired at all. An anthology seri focg on a broar spectm of LGBTQ characters, not only is a sharper, more tightly wrten show, but also has the potential to serve as a great sprgboard for up-and-g gay wrers and performers.
It would have been a better, braver choice for a Channel 4 flagship urse, we have ma signifint stris gay reprentatn sce 1999, and gay characters are more visible mastream drama and edy than ever before.

Gay televisn dramas need to be ee to fail, and gay characters to be fully round human begs rather than walkg issu. As a gay man watchg I was embarrassed to thk that people might see this and thk that this is what we're all like.
Bee there is so ltle LGBT reprentatn the media, and the episo end on a negative note, rerced what we always see when gay relatnships are portrayed – they end tragedy. The fact that they start wh a group of gay men who are clearly not a gay bar, happily stg there havg discsns – 15 years ago, if that was a scene Queer as Folk, probably would have end wh some kd of homophobic abe or attack or somethg.
GAY AREA CUCUMBER
I thk there were many que subtle aspects of the episo like that which might not necsarily have been too noticeable, showg gay people livg que openly and fortably, which actually says a lot about problems they were discsg were problems that would also affect heterosexual upl, like one person wantg to get married and the other not wantg to get married, so I thk 's really good that the issu that hopefully e out are not 'gay issu', they are human issu. I like the fact that was showg olr gay people. We jt need a normal show about relatnships a normal way, not this stereotypil 'all gay people thk about is sex, all gay people want is sex'.
