IF LGBT ROOMS MAKE GAY STUNTS FEEL SAFE, LET’S ROLL OUT THE RABOW RPET

Wh theater doors bolted shut for the next…foreeable future, we’re thrilled to see some Broadway talent pop up the pilot episo of Boy•Friends, a new edy based off the My Gay Boyiend web-seri.

FROM GAY LLEGE DORM ROOM

YOUNG BISEXUAL AND GAY MEN: PERSONAL STORI

Midwt Bisexual Lbian Gay Transgenr Asexual College Conference hosted by the Midwt Instute for Sexualy and Genr Diversy.

It seems to fet that gay people for s have chosen to live “gaybourhoods” large ci, not simply to be able to live as their thentic selv, but also to ensure their safety. What straight crics of LGBT dorm life fail to realise is that this is somethg that gay young people, pecially those om more ral or nservative areas, have dreamed about.

A recent study by the gay civil rights group Stonewall found that 42% of gay universy stunts stayed the closet for fear of discrimatn.

DORM LIFE: ON THE N AT THE GAY GAM

As the only out young gay kid at my school, I took the advancement of my sexual experienc to my own hands and I did what we all do: I bought a fake ID and h the gay clubs. While I knew wouldn’t be like a gay llege eroti I’d read on (gay non, really), I rather naively wasn’t expectg the fall out.

GAY ROOMMATE: WHAT TO DO?

I realize I fell to that old gay adage of placg my feelgs on a person who, for whatever reason, was never gog to vt them back me. Worst of all, though, the shame attached to the memori of those first tim marred how I would approach sex for years.It was listeng to Years & Years’ new song “Sanctify,” and seeg the band’s out gay sger Olly Alexanr talk about how the song was spired his sexual trysts wh straight men, that I realized that the feelgs are way more mon than people let on. Sure, I know all about gay guys havg sex wh straight guys, but felt reassurg to see him scribe the “sat and sner role” he embodied durg those experienc, and to hear the uncertaty and melancholy weaved to the song.More than anythg though, was the repeated lyril mantra of “I won’t be ashamed.” Bee as queer people, we’re buried lifetime’s worth of shame so vivid and searg that oftentim ’s cripplg.

I also happen to be gay. I uldn’t tell you if your roomie is [closeted] gay, bi or simply cur. The reason is that sometim, gay men end up fallg for guys who are emotnally unavailable.

GAY ROOM MATE...

Another reviewer suggted anyone dislikg this movie mt be a homophobe. To the ntrary, anyone who thks this qualifi as a good gay-themed movie mt have a fairly low opn of what a well done gay-themed movie n be.

Admtedly there has bee some gree of fatigue for gay films that tra off the AIDS crisis, but aga, referencg the two recent films mentned above, when done well they are still this film there were too many terribly clichéd personali. I gus 's a matter of distctn that this movie managed to renr the whole HIV crisis as well as the ath & love loss experienced by s lead characters, as somethg are far better choic for movg, emotnally-drag and spirg tal om this perd the gay muny.
