i sincerely hope the heterosexuals appreciate your solidarity with them.

Casting call: "STRAIGHTS NEED NOT APPLY" This is where Russell's road takes us. oh. my. god. i'm not surprised that someone around here would boo-hoo-hoo "straight oppression" in the "gay rights" thread, but i didn't think it would be so hilarious here, dude, you forgo...

if you actually cared to address anything i wrote we might come to agreement. but instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i will say that "don't be hasty, don't make demands, don't be too loud, don't be ungrateful for the scraps of respect they throw us, and above all be nice and respectable or else they'll turn on ...

There are times when I think Russell Davies is a total, complete, and utter ass or prat, if you prefer the Anglicism, I use them at interchangeably at mood, and this is one of those time when I think he totally is. I 'm curious, how does one "act" Gay in the sense referred to here? I'm no...

So, pick the best actor for your project. If your best actor for a gay role happens to be gay.... bonus! nah, that assumes both a nearly perfect meritocracy and a simple way to determine "the best actor." when in reality, among any group of actors, there's probably more than one that's &q...

I understand Jonathan Pie's criticism of Russell's comments. Russell used the word 'only'. That very much discounts the talent of many, many great straight actors who have pulled off fabulous performances as a gay character. Likewise, many gay actors can do straight roles incredibly fabuously :P as...

honestly, there was reason enough before all this for biden and harris to have a simple, non-public, televised, swearing-in with their immediate families. it would have sufficed and demonstrated their committment to fighting the pandemic. now there's even more reason, only poorer optics.

Now her family members are trying to reconcile their own image of the feisty but private woman they knew with the one who stormed Congress as part of a violent mob that called for the killing of lawmakers. "feisty" is yelling a little too loudly or arguing in parking lots, not joining a f...

I mean, it's not as if there isn't a precedent for some massive overlap between latent (or not-so-latent) homosexuality and right-wing politics.

What are your grievances?

there's that great line in philip roth's the plot against america where the elder roth watches with terror the atrocities of the lindberg administration and when the young philip asks his father why the democrats won't do anything, says, "don't ask me about the democrats, son. i'm angry enough ...

Don't know what the solutions are, but we're going to need to deal with this issue sooner than later. in any country that wasn't a gerontocracy deeply damaged by private money, institutional inertia, and retrictions on voting rights, such an individual would've either chosen to retire by now or bee...

Both points are valid. But consensus has it that there's a correlation between the deterioration of rock and the increased emphasis of production values over rock 'n roll's rawness and spontaneity. i mean, there really isn't such a consensus? just as single example, fleetwood mac, one of the most &...

I would put up with the weird stuff if I could also get the ability to discover more indie artists self-publishing on social media platforms. The old system had too many gatekeepers with a high barrier to entry. really, the place to go is bandcamp--bandcamp hosts thousands of artists in every imagi...

You might wanna let this go, maybe? Your opinion of your tastes in music is perfect....for you. That you get pleasure from what you like is the WHOLE POINT of music. i mean i’m not taking offense at any of this. i’m learning a great deal! i’d be humbled to know what people with such exquisite ears ...

I dislike Presly's music. I dislike the Beatles, period. I, however, do know the difference between talent and marketing. well. i’ve gotten many years of happiness from both. but i’m reminded of a story of the musicologist who had such an exquisite ear that after many years of listening he could on...

and 20th century popular music success was always predicted on being attractive & edgy. or maybe you never heard of this guy named elvis The difference between Presly and Swift is that one had talent before they had marketing. ha. i love how when you press someone on this, it just comes down to...
