Def not watching the new one. What a shame.
The first one was iconic…
I jsut don’t understand why we can’t just get a show that focuses on gay men and perhaps some lesbians finding true love and all the ups and downs.
What's the shame? Queer isn't just gay men and women. There's an entire umbrella, and they deserve representation just as much as we do. Don't get me wrong, both the british original and the first adaptation to the US were both incredible, especially for their time, but you also can't pretend that it ignored a lot of the factual HONESTY around the gay community; how racist the LGBTQ+ community can be, the fact that we tend to erase bi people, that we're not as inclusive of trans people as we should be... etc. (This is a general statement, not indicative of any individual person.) I mean, there wasn't a single BIPOC in the the main cast. Lol.
I am willing to give the new version a shot. I'm a little disappointed we're not going to see any bigger dudes on here but I mean fat guys are almost universally allowed to be mocked without recourse so we're not quite there yet, I guess.
