I would go see it in your place Kringas, but I have to wait another freaking month...

I would go see it in your place Kringas

That made me giggle, thinking there's some sort of requirement that every gay man must go see this movie and that you'd go and check my name off for me.

Kringas---didn't you get your ticket in the mail? They sent them to all card-carrying homos worldwide.

You can send a proxy if you want.

It's funny, I have more of an issue with gay characters in musical theatre...

It's OUR FREAKING GENRE, and we can't even manage to get one decent gay character that's NOT an anachronism?

I know what you mean, Doxy, though I guess it's all subjective and there will never be one gay film, show, character that appeals to all of us.

Rathy --- What would we do without you?

(everybody sing along from "Company')

Then add in "Think of Me" from Phantom, after that.

Then give Rathy a big hug.

Shifting gears:
The problem with any gay character is that too many of us bring a "laundry list" of an agenda for what we hope that one character is or represents. Who could possibly live up to that? I don't expect any gay character to be "all things to all people." It isn't possible.

I just wish they wouldn't always be the gay equivalent of "Aunt Jemima" and "Uncle Remus" all the time. Or a child molester. That's all we ever do, according to most perception out there: Make people laugh a lot with our "colorful" ways... or murder them in their sleep... or sexually abuse their children.

I was friends with Margaret Cho years ago when she was doing her TV show, and she was under SO much pressure to be "all positive things to Asians." She couldn't deal, and it wasn't pretty to watch. She had a big meltdown back then, and I felt so sorry for her.

"I confess" I was really bugged watching Roger de Bris and Carmen Ghia on the big screen. Such cartoons. But if you read the main board, you probably know that already.

"which one of you is the bender" HAHAHA

Rath - I do that all the time with internet sites/people. I get so sick of it.

I confess my family doesn't really know I'm gay. 'Cause technically I don't really label myself...and I don't date ever. lol. I don't see the point of bringing it up if I'm not dating anyone. Though I don't think my mom would be surprised if one day I was just like, "okay you know what, I'm not really interested in guys. I never date the ones that ask me out not only because they're losers, but because I just don't find them attractive." Except I do find some men attractive and would date like....Ken Wanatabe or Johnny Depp. Hell yes I would, sex and everything.

---

that's actually one of the reasons I don't clue my mother in. She's very curious about lesbianism in the first place, so she'd ask me questions I definitely wouldn't want to answer.

Kitz, I thought I'd made it clear that you are not allowed to change your av.

Fix it.

---

I believed you. Was someone questioning your integrity?

I confess that I am appalled that this thread has been dormant since 7:35 last night!! *weeps*

I hate dress rehearsals. (I'm doing a concert production of Oliver! on Staten Island...) Last night, we were there for FIVE HOURS. I'm playing oboe and English horn in the orchestra, and by hour 4, there was blood on my reed. I can barely speak today...and tonight is the special preview for the investors and bigshots who run the Cultural Center, and our first recording session. I have NO idea how the f*uck I'm gonna make it through that crap...

I hate the oboe. *steps on it and burns it*

I also confess that I have not had an orgasm in five days.

it's just annoying.
