HOW ARE LGBT PEOPLE REACTG TO CHANNEL 4'S GAY DRAMA "CUCUMBER"?

The thematilly lked dramas, to be broadst next year along wh Tofu, an onle seri offerg viewers the chance to share their sexual experienc, are Davi's first work for Channel 4 sce the send seri of Queer as Folk as Folk's first outg the prev year was a landmark mastream Brish drama, wh s portrayal of gay sex and the liftyle of the late 1990s gay muny, centred around the nightlife of Canal Street Manchter. ), liberately ambiguo (Brishead Revised) or worthy and a b dull (Michael Cashman's character, Col Rsell, the first gay man EastEnrs) were isolated portrayals of gay, lbian and bisexual characters, but you had to look for them – Dirk Bogar's 1961 film Victim, about a barrister takg on blackmailers; John Hurt as The Naked Civil Servant 1975; and an episo of Crown Court a year later, about a gay transvte entrapped by a policeman.

It may appear quat now, when we have TV seri like Hulu’s Love, Victor (about a Latx teen explorg sexual fluidy) or Netflix’s Bondg (about sex work and alternative sexualy), but the great gay panic set off by Ellen DeGener g out on her s 1997 was a bombshell that didn’t necsarily nvce the works that they’d open the gat to LGBTQ experienc. Luckily Will & Grace buted 1998 and the groundbreakg NBC seri nvced many that gay people might not be so toxic (and wouldn’t sre off advertisers) — so much so that Vice Print Joe Bin later creded wh changg his md about same-sex marriage.
