Dear God, I’d hate to be a lesbian in any TV or movie show of this era…
I just read what was intended for the gay storyline in “Love Actually.” As soon as I saw it was about lesbians, I knew how it was going to end. You can’t have a lesbian relationship without one of them dying in violent or excruciating pain after having found love…
Yeah. Better to not include it. People seem to be coming at Richard Curtis a lot lately for his movies being too white or not inclusive enough or promoting toxic traits. Some ok points, but the man has done so many great things, seems like a poorly judged target to go after. Plus, Love, Actually doesn’t do anything for the LGBT+ community, but Four Weddings and a Funeral certainly did, so I give him a pass there.
On a totally different trajectory………Can we possibly skip all this shit on Ricky Martin.
I am so tired of seeing him or reading anything about him.
He’s one man I can’t stand though at 22, I will admit that physically,
I can see how men find him hot! O.K. Contradicting myself, as I don’t like him,
but a sexual “anything” with him would probably be hot and most certainly
I would be a VERY active participant. We do have sex, you know, with persons
we don’t like very much or with persons with whom we’re at odds. If you find
this ridiculous or unrealistic, well, it’s simply that you are OLD and don’t get
how we, as gay men, function in 2023, the 21st century. This is not the dark
AGES.
A suggestion: for future articles about Ricky Martin, just look at the pictures and don’t read the text. That way you can enjoy the eye candy without updating on his various endeavors.
As far as I’m concerned, most guys are more appealing when you don’t know anything about them.
Mr 22. You were born in times you can’t cope with. There were a few decades when Jim Morrison would be in Rolling Stone. Pictures and stories. Ricky Matin ain’t no Jim Morrison. The ”performers” today are LAME……..get use to it. I’m glad you made your point and you went on and on about it. Like I am now. Tootles.
OLD? WTF do u know about gays of the past generation, of which i am a part. You have your freedom from us. We were the ones on the front lines of the brutality, who were smeared and attacked at every turn. It was my generation that paved the way for snot noses like you to even be able to call yourself gay in public. You and your ilk, give gaydom a bad name. You show no respect for even others of your age. I am not surprised you show none for those who came before you. There are plenty of young gay men who thank us, for being able to “function in 2023”, whatever that means.
Now, now, let’s not engage in ethnic stereotypes, nm4047! There are MILLIONS of Latino men in the US alone, and not all of them “have rhythm,” so maybe step away from generalizations like that!

Ugh! I thought we had graduated from the “tragic love affair” era…!

Are you 22 in Dog Years, Blanche? But more importantly, why the need to say your age in every post.

I am happy to embrace being told I’m OLD and happy to embrace any and all future articles and pictures on Ricky Martin.

Rickie must be one of the few latino men that really has no rhythm, he just shuffles and appears to rely on the younger day looks.

Vetoed.
