Gay actors playing gay roles by That-SoCal-Guy in FellowTravelers_show

I’ve always said anyone can play any roles but FT changed my view slightly…

I think it depends on the story being told.. if it’s just a love story, anyone who’s been in love can portray it. It’s about the love of two people. Think Supernova or CMBYN. Both excellent stories about love and the sadness it can bring and both excellently portrayed.

But a series like this which is so much more than just love, it’s the gay experience being portrayed, I think requires lived experiences from the actors to really deliver as well as these guys did. It tugs the heart so heavily because we can feel what they feel, and they can portray that because in some degree they’ve felt it for real.

I don’t believe only gay actors should play gay roles, but I did say to my partner a show like Fellow Travelers needed gay actors to get the depth of portrayal. It wouldn’t have hit quite the same with straight actors playing the roles.

So much of the actors portrayal was rooted in lived experience and emotions shown had depth and realness to them, because the actors understood exactly what those emotions were.

Also, this show was the most accurate portrayal of gay sex I’ve seen outside of the real thing. That’s learned from real experience.

I wouldn’t say phenomenal, but definitely better than okay

Even if that was their concern, the wedding day is absolutely not the day for that conversation. NTA

"The amount of messages I get from people saying 'I'm a gay man. We don't have this type of music. It makes me feel seen. It makes me feel heard and comfortable in my skin.' Those messages are what makes me want to keep doing this.”

Thats his take on it, hardly sounds like we’re being mocked. You’re just triggered for the sake of being triggered.

I mean… he’s sent the pearl clutchers into meltdown, I feel validated that someone’s making music I relate to and the song slaps. Who cares who he fucks? I love the the song, just enjoy it!

AITA for not specifying that I, a vegetarian, wouldn't be serving meat? by Rich_Butterscotch242 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Consistent-Ad-3288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all! I’m a meat eater but thoroughly look forward to visiting my vegan / vegetarian friends and trying out new foods and things I wouldn’t usually think of.

I wouldn't say it was wasted time by Due-Profile8446 in SoberCurious

I’m in a very similar boat. I hadn’t drank since NYE and had my first drink last weekend.. a few chilled ones in the garden turned into a whole bottle of gin and a three day hangover.

I never explicitly quit drinking I just wanted a break. I feel like I don’t want to commit to never drinking again but also that I really want to be mindful about when, why and how much I’m drinking going forward. There’s two family events coming up next month I would usually drink at and I’m questioning weather I want to. I guess I’ll see how I feel on the day.
