NETFLIX EXPOS THE SECRET GAY HISTORY OF NAZI GERMANY

I'm sick of the over reprentatn of gay relatnships the Media. I'm not a homophone, i really don't re what other people do.

3 of them between gay upl. Every TV show that out the days seems like has to have the token gay uple. (though lets be hont, 80% of the world probably agre wh me and is to sred to speak out due to the wrath of the remag 20% (10% gays and 10% SJW's)).

Not jt hey let's make that supportg character gay bee 'll make crics talk about more posively and slightly broan the mographic of our show. And although ’s absolutely lovely to see a film for kids embrace explic gay romance, the queerns of Nick Bno and Troy Quane’s film, adapted om the graphic novel by ND Stevenson, go further and extends to the tle character. But nsir this: let gay art flop.

NETFLIX FENDS PACKG SHOWS WH LGBT ‘REPRENTATN’: ‘EVERY GAY PERSON IS VERY NECSARY’

In a sea of gay ntent that aims to be excellent, “First Kill” has the bravery to be pellgly terrible, and for that we mt pay our rpects. Charmg voice work om a mostly queer st of voice actors — cludg Sean Hay, Matt Rogers, Wanda Syk, and Patti Harrison — boosted the show’s lighthearted tacklg of stutnal homophobia, and ma for a seri that had real potential before got Netflix’s axe. She-Ra and the “He-Man” anchise have always had a strong mpy appeal that ma at least gay-adjacent, but ND Stevenson’s acclaimed reboot of the anchise for Netflix rehgly dropped the -adjacent part pletely.

Soapy teen stori are so much better when they’re gay, and “Young Royals” is one of the gayt and soapit. A marked improvement om the origal “The Ultimatum, ” which featured a st of nttants so toxic that went past entertag and to ncerng terrory, the “Queer Love” eratn stars a group of gay women and non-bary leads on the verge of marriage as they are tasked wh mglg wh other upl, and choose to pair up wh someone outsi their origal pairg to live wh for three weeks.

Also, mercifully, this show is NOT hosted by Nick and Vansa Lachey, but stead by JoAnna Garcia Swisher, one of the biggt ws for the gays Netflix uld have ever provid . From datg farmers and dsters to ventg a vibrator for women wh arthristis, the sex-posive and nately femist antics of Grace, Frankie, and their gay ex-hbands make for generally light fare. In orr to get closer to Nick, Charlie jos the gby team and kicks off que lerally a gusg game over whether or not Nick is gay.

The rult is a sophistited, tart-tongued revival, and a gayed-up “Who’s Aaid of Virgia Woolf? The performanc are all superb, and the fact that the st pris solely out-of-the-closet gay men creat for a special alchemy here, as the actors, first tablished their summer 2018 Broadway n, have a faiary and fort wh each other you’d be unlikely to see a mixed st of straights and gays. It’s hard to thk of a better premise for a documentary than a gay porn shop n by a straight Jewish uple, but throw to the mix that their dghter is the filmmaker and you have one of the most surprisg films of the year.

Filmmaker Rachel Mason follows the footsteps of hybrid documentarian Kirsten Johnson, but throws a heapg dose of Borscht belt humor, Jewish tradn, and gay history. Her lovg acunt of her parents Barry and Karen Mason and how they me to n one of LA’s most popular gay cisg spots is the perfect blend of personal exvatn and engagg storytellg.
