LET THE GAY CHAOS OF THE ULTIMATUM: QUEER LOVE CONSUME YOUR LIFE (OR, AT LEAST, YOUR LONG WEEKEND)
Sure, the upl are gay. Maybe that’s why so many people who don’t actually want to have gay sex intify as queer.
All of the young people on the show appear to be stgglg wh both ternalized homophobia, and many of them are dub about genr. Thgs are about to get really gay on season two of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move creator Chris Coelen revealed durg a recent terview wh The Hollywood Reporter that they're well to the show's send season, which will feature an all-queer st of nttants tryg to rolve their existg relatnships. Granted, ’s far easier to accs everythg om gay nightlife to trans-affirmg re there than pretty much anywhere else Texas, but ’s still not, you know, easy.
I don’t want to even remotely romanticize the experience of beg a queer, trans, or nonbary person Texas, and I know that most LGBTQ+ people who live here don’t have the optn to leave (or even want to, as this is their home), but as a queer person who spent most of my “out” 20s New York Cy, I stopped takg the ltle thgs—om a night out at drag karaoke to an eveng , watchg explicly gay realy TV wh a iend who also has Lex on her phone—for granted durg my time Texas. Even Brooklyn I treasured my gay TV nights, vg a barrage of queer people over to s on my floor and swoon over elr dyke Shane durg the premiere of The L Word: Generatn Q 2019, but now, wh that show (and so much other LGBTQ+-foced entertament) unceremonly nceled, havg a bunch of new queer explos to lose our llective mds over feels pecially excg. I like to tell myself that at nearly 30, I’m done wh queer ms; I’ve grown out of textg 15 prospective dat at once and nstantly forcg my beleaguered straight iends to leave whatever party we were at for a gayer one across town.
