Video

A friend of mine (hetero, btw) was once asked by a gang of thugs: "Are you gay?" His answer: "Why? Do you want to fuck?". Of course he got beaten up.....

Why, oh why do anyone care so much about who has sex with who? I only care about who wants to have sex with me. And who I want to have sex with. Once people quit interfering with other peoples sexlife world will be a better place. ❤️

That was a really good story. As a straight man; who has always felt disgusted by the negative attitudes towards homosexuality; It made me happy to hear that he found love, commitment and a sense of happiness and fulfillment in his later years.

Chandler….that name alone Gorl.

everybody knows that Captain Picard was gay.

About half of this video is too long winded.

I was also in the SF Bay Area when Prop 8 was passed. God, that was awful. I had an icon of Fr. Mychal Judge &, heartbroken, I asked for his prayers & had the weirdest strong sense that things would be alright. It took a while, though. Now we have to fight again to ensure Trump & his SCOTUS don't undo all the progress.

Cabaret was Liza's Oz. It put her on the map.

WHAT AN AWESOME INFORMATIVE TIMELINE . THANK U!

Straight guy here, who came across your videos while doing some research on this movie and its legacy. An argument I’d make is that Nightmare 2 has a major influence nowadays: The entire Will Byers character storyline on Stranger Things is a big-budget remake of Nightmare 2, informed by the perspective of us looking back on the ‘80s from a time of much greater social equality (not to mention vast advances in preventing and treating HIV/AIDS). Will is an awkward, closeted teenage boy in the mid-‘80s, who is being haunted and terrorized by an evil spirit that wants to use his fears and self-loathing as a means to break out into the real world. He is afraid that this spirit haunting him is so dangerous, it will kill everyone around him, and that even asking anyone else for support would just put them bring them into his circle of danger. Does any of this sound familiar? They really ought to give Mark Patton a cameo in Season 5. There’d be no Will Byers if there hadn’t been a Jesse Walsh first - and the Hollywood of today is a much better place for Noah Schnapp, than things were for Patton back then.

Uncle Arthur was certainly a bit on the campy side. And Endora was absolutely a drag queen without a doubt. Both Maurice and Dr Bombay had a rather flamboyant flair about them. Loved the all.

Lore of Cabaret & the Seductive Power of Evil momentum 100

This is terrifying to listen to. It's literally the exact same as what's happening now in the US

We are mesmerize by the current iteration of Cabaret and emotional about the interpretation, all the while the White Christian Fascism of US Supreme Court, issues decision upon decision unravel the democratic order and ushering the imperial American Dictator

This is so weird to me. I saw La Cage aux Folles as a young woman in the early 80s, and found The Birdcage many years later to be an inferior and mostly milktoast remake. To find it was a gay rights landmark is news to me, and rather tragic.

With all the current parallels with 1930s Germany in the US today, people saying the MAGA movement supported by a scary number of just lifelong Republicans like my mother, is all just fine, I'm overthinking it... I think I may watch Cabaret again now. Haven't seen it in ages and this analysis and history has me interested. And then I will likely have to follow it up with The Bird Cage or I might not sleep.

I've just realised I haven't seen the movie Cabaret in about 20 years, because I've been lucky enough to be able to see the stage show in multiple forms, and considered it better. I felt that it told the story of queerness and Nazi Germany better. Seeing this I've realised I was probably just too young when I first saw it, that I missed all the important bits, and I saw the stage show at just the right time. I really need to rewatch the movie again, I think I've been unfair! Looking forward to it!!

Before even starting this... I genuinely just heard this '?CONCEPT?' last night when a friend brought it up. Extremely odd timing/stop listening to my conversations please!

Have to say Tim Curry kind of broke my brain as well at sweet sixteen, about a hundred years ago 😂. Fabulous

Why would you have to be gay to know what Tiramisu is? It’s an Italian dessert, but they have crappy versions of it at Chinese restaurants (which is how I learned about it)

Thank you for this; may every voter watch it!

What sort of idiot starts crafting a film before the ending is settled?

Looks like 'merica now

We Miss and Love You Kevin Conroy, and YASSS for him voicing an Iconic Comic Book character! Another win for the Queers!

For evil camp villains check our Missy from Doctor Who and from another BBC science fiction series, Blake's Seven, the magnificent Servelan

When my partner died in 2005 (well before marriage was legal), he left behind a house, a car, a pension settlement, CDs in the bank, and more. But his estranged sister was his next of kin and inherited everything because my partner was afraid that writing a will would jinx him. When I "remarried" a few years later (still before marriage was legal), I immediately wrote a will leaving everything to my partner.

WTF? The Broadway show LA CAGE AUX FOLLES ran for four years and won a slew of Tony Awards. Hardly a near-disaster.

Still a relevant warning about the MAGA-Putin alliance.

Bewitched is my all-time favorite sitcom from the past. I still watch re-runs and love them. And I'm GAY!

Wow his dad sounds bad. Didn’t even give him a name? He could’ve written to the boys.

Ellen TV show failed because insightful Comedy was not used in any episode after her coming out episode. The fact that Ellen from the beginning was just a basic sitcom; did not help the situation.

He looks real German.

Isn't acting a facade in itself?

Hollywood today is ran by the same individuals back then. Hollywood has never been the same world the general public lived in. Im pretty sure theres plenty of actors still voluntarily keep their private life... private. What a concept! Lol

I hated the part written for Al Corley ..he was right to leave but the story continued didn't get better

looks like "where i lived" in the aerial view of beacon street could've put you in an old emerson college dorm?

The supreme court will be overturning marriage equality before 2026, mark my words.

But this is a really beautifully colored depiction of the time before the Nazis. There was widespread, indescribable poverty in Germany, and many women prostituted themselves out of financial need, not because they were so "free-spirited."

Wild for Al to be homophobic bc Al dresses gayer than any other human being I have ever seen. (I say as a queer trans man named Al...)

Such a good video! Ive watched more than once! All of the Golden Girls were such AMAZING allies! (Before 'allies' were a thing). My fave show always.

Great video on one of my favorite movies ever! Thank you!

Bewitched was magical and brilliant! It featured fabulous acting, stories, and messages! Don’t even get me started on the unique spells used! ;) Also, more people of color we cast in the show!

Sodom as musical.

Watch what happens here in the US if that cancerous orange pile of offal gets back into the presidency. But with the fascist SC, none of us is safe.

I miss that man

please do a kate mckinnon episode!! love your channel!! 🩷😚

Your videos are must-watches, this one perhaps more crucial to heed than the others. You draw such clear parallels between NAZI and MAGA. If anyone doubts MAGAs, if given power, will make good on their death camp threats, they better think again. On a lighter note, IMO Fosse is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time despite that he only made a handful of films, all of them masterpieces. He clearly wasn't easy to work with as his All That Jazz makes clear he himself knew.
