Matthew Richardson’s latest short film The Arrow is absolutely mesmerizing. Featuring a pair of male acrobats, it tells the story of two men who fall in love–from their first meeting, to their first embrace, to the unbreakable bond they form.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The video was made in memory of those lost during last month’s terrorist attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando and sends a powerful message: That all love is equal.

Amazing! It is really powerful.

Who cares? This is the equivalent of someone superimposing the French flag over their Facebook pic to show “solidarity” with the Charlie Hebdo tragedy. It does nothing. Plus, the only people who would watch this are gay/gay allies already. It’s like preaching to the choir.

Putting my cynical hat on for a moment. Touching tribute or excuse for two guys to show off their bodies
SnakeyJ
@charlie_jackpot: Jackpot!

Beautiful. Would have enjoyed it even more if the guys were not so hairless. Just sayin.’

@SnakeyJ: What a bitter, acerbic, old queen you are!
SnakeyJ
@Sluggo2007: I could’ve stated it a little nicer I suppose, but it’s funny how speaking the truth makes me a bitter old queen. There are people REALLY helping out. This “dance for Orlando” is ridiculous. What does it DO? Nothing.
NateOcean
Nice performance, but why the shameless promotional tie-in to Orlando?

@SnakeyJ: What does the rainbow Flag do? What does #we are Orlando do? What about an inner city mural of a same sex couple holding hands do? It seems, according to you…nothing. But to most people it’s a show of solidarity. There are many ways to show solidarity or pay homage to a time or situation. Just because this video is erotic doesn’t make it any less an homage to the victims of Pulse. This is how these two men showed their solidarity. What are you doing that makes a difference besides demeaning this work of art?
SnakeyJ
@Greeva: I didn’t say anything about the erotic context of the dance. If the people responsible for this piece really wanted to DO something they could have put on a show and charged for tickets, donate the funds to the victim families, or to gun control groups. That would’ve done something for the victims of that tragedy.
