‘THE WEDDG COACH’S’ GAY WEDDG EPISO IS A WILD RI THROUGH GAY PERFORMATIVE EXCELLENCE

” Gay marriage has no real tradns yet, which mak sense nsirg that the legalizatn of gay marriage is younger than Netflix’s Grace and Frankie.

Chad and Anthony have lated the creative liberty given to gays re: weddgs to Evert heights. Lt sound like I’m mercilsly dunkg on Chad and Anthony, let’s talk about somethg: performative gay excellence.

THE GAY WEDDG SHOW : MANCHTER SEPTEMBER 2023

Every gay man feels this prsure, whether you engage or not on social media. Now that we are here, queer, loud, and proud, there is a vibe that every gay man has to be f, flawls, fun, and fierce—or they have to be actively phg agast that.

There is no gay man on Instagram who is somehow unaware of this ph and pull.

—rivalry between gay men that mak all want to one-up each other. “I’m not like those gays” is a phrase that’s ed to punch up and down. Chad wants to do both a Brney and Gaga sectn his weddg dance route to publicly assert his gayns, and I take heavily eded kaftan and swimsu selfi and post them on Instagram and then lk to an article I am wrg for work bee I too am a gay man who is sperate for validatn om other gay men on social media.

THE GAY WEDDG SHOW

Chad’s mom is gog to be betiful no matter what, bee what’s actually betiful about her is the fact that she is exced about gog to her gay son’s gay weddg. A parent g to their gay kid’s weddg, or a gay kid feelg like they n even ve their parent to their gay weddg is still—even six seasons of Grace and Frankie later—not a given.

My vigilance now extends to babi om televisn other weddg was Our Gay Weddg: The Mil (Channel 4), which has the tw advantag of beg both a real mil and a real weddg.

There was even room for a ltle dissent, cludg footage of a vir llg the legalisatn of gay marriage "untidy" – a neat piece of sophistry that uld have been clipped out of last night's episo of Gay Weddg stck me as a high-risk enterprise: the celebry quotient might have been irratg; ches might have robbed the ceremony of some of s solemny; the showg off might have unrmed the store of goodwill behd the project.
