“I had my first kiss with this guy that I had a crush on from my hometown, who ended up being my, quote-unquote, roommate, because I wasn’t out of the closet for three and a half years. But I had my first kiss on this day…He had come over to the apartment I was living in, and that happened. And then I was like, ‘I have to go. I have to go meet [Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) executive director] Tom Viola.’ I remember walking in and meeting him and feeling like my entire body was on fire. I was like levitating thru the offices of BC/EFA.”— Actor Jonathan Groff speaking on the Broadway Gives Back Podcast.

Good for you, Johnathan. There’s definitely something magical about that first time.

Jonathan made for a much more relatable lead actor in the terrific gay romcom ‘Looking’ (2014) than some of these new screechers in the recent ‘Fire Island’ and ‘The Lake.’

I totally agree. ‘Looking’ was an iconic breakthrough mini-series/feature without the stereotypical tropes as featured with current queer cinema.

New screechers? On “The Lake”? Like whom? Jordan Gavaris?
Rambeaux
“Looking” was outstanding.
Jonathan helped make it so.

Can this still be found somewhere?

thNOLA59, I’d imagine it’s probably on HBOMax since it was made by HBO.

I loved looking. It brought in lots of issues with pounding them on the head. Subtlety and verisimilitude are lacking these days. We had a very fun day when they filmed one episode in our clinic and pharmacy.

It did and it resonated with allot of my friends. I thought the story lines, and writing was brilliantly funny because we recognized some of the characters in our own lives. It could’ve been a great show but the complainers won out.
So now we have a 3rd queer as folk. Yippee. Lol
