Popular telenovela Liberdade Liberdade (Freedom, Freedom) just aired the very first steamy guy-on-guy scene in the already-steamy history of Brazilian soap operas.

The story so far: After exchanging a series of tentative flirtations, André (Caio Blat) and Tolentino (Ricardo Pereira) can no longer deny their mounting desire for one another and finally yield to temptation, doffing their clothes and making sweet, sweet love on the bed, their ivory brows crested with dew. Later, they lay sprawled naked in bed, holding hands, dreaming of what the future may hold.

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.
Here’s a taste of the dialogue leading up to the surprisingly explicit scene:
Tolentino: ‘My only friend is you. You, Andrew. A sensitive man. Can you understand the mysteries of life. The turns that the world gives. The surprises that life holds.’
Andrew: ‘Surprises about ourselves.’
Tolentino: ‘Yes. You said one day. We all have a second nature. Sometimes remains hidden.’
Andrew: ‘But not forever.’
Watch the steaminess unfurl below:

Riu Melo, Eduardo Picasso these two clearly aren’t.

I cried like a baby when I watched this scene. It is the FIRST scene between gay men in brazilian television. It was masterfully crafted, well acted, beautifully lit, and the actors are gorgeous. It is a LOVE scene, not a sex scene. It is romantic and in very good taste. The music is from the classic gay movie Death In Venice (1971). It is the adagietto from Mahler’s fifth symphony.

Good to see this happened. I hope it doesn’t remain a rarity.
