Stuart was rather unlikeable. I hated how he treated Vince who was so sweetI watched QAF last week - I kind of enjoyed it but not as much as Cucumber or It's A Sin...I just found the majority of the characters really unlikeable? Like it was so hard to root for them at all. Not to mention the weird relationship with a schoolboy thing...I know it was a 'different time' but surely it wasn't that different!!
I knew their treatment in hospital would be bad but this broke me ! Absolutely horrific. The ending.. awful. Im in the LGBT community and only my best friends and sister know.
I've also told my therapist and it was a hard thing to accept. I knew I was sexually attracted to women but only romantically to men. Im also demi sexual so it made it stressful for me. Thinking, do I fancy that actress or is it in my head ? This shouldn't be something we still question.
I mentioned on another thread, I told my mum and aunt I could be bi last summer. My aunt laughed. And said that when you find the man you'll marry, he won't respect or love you. As in that he would cheat or just not take me seriously.
Im 29 this year and I've never been to Pride. One of my best friends is an out gay man and I just want to go and party with him but its also as if I dont feel worthy. Like because my preference is male I dont count as LGBT.
This show made me cry like a baby. Thinking about if I was living in Ireland there with my best friend, I'd be working 24/7 about him. Imagining if I was in a hospital alone with no one. Or locked up like Henry and Colin. Horrific.
I've watched it 3 times already. Its so so so important. I started Pose too and its amazing.
Here is to a million more shows about LGBT history.
As a mum of an lgbtq child it makes me sad that you feel like this, I'd hate my child to feel that they weren't worthy because of who they are attracted to. You are so worthy. Go to Pride and enjoy yourself.I knew their treatment in hospital would be bad but this broke me ! Absolutely horrific. The ending.. awful.

Love thisKinda off topic but this show finally pushed me to tell my Dad that I'm lesbian after years of worrying how he would feel...turns out he is totally fine with it and not shocked...apparently he kinda knew anyway!! I just wanted to post this here as this show helped me get the courage to come out and be proud
Absolutely - we go to the London Pride and it’s a wonderful, uplifting fun day. We are so grateful that our son is able to live openly as a gay man. I was once privileged to nurse an elderly gay man as he died and during a quiet night shift he told me about his life - he was an active campaigner when it was a prisonable offence to be gay and did serve time in prison. I was able to thank him because it’s due to his courage that my son can live the life he does! I’m proud of how much British society has changed in my lifetime.You should totally go to Pride! You have every reason to go, it’s such a fun, amazing, important time. My little middle England town held its first Pride in 2019. I’m a straight woman with kids. I’ve no idea what their future holds, but Pride shows them that they can be free to love whoever they choose.
on the previous page someone recommended Epidemic on All4. I’m going to try and download it today.Can anyone recommend any good documentaries that look at the AIDS epidemic?
There was one about how AIDS and heroin affected poor communities in Edinburgh in the 80s. It has strong ties to the original (and brilliant) Trainspotting film because Irvine Welsh lived in the community and experienced it first hand. It’s a grim, powerful watch but incredibly interesting and humbling. Sorry I can’t remember the title but if you search ‘AIDS heroin Edinburgh Irvine Welsh 80s’ it might set you on the right path.Can anyone recommend any good documentaries that look at the AIDS epidemic?
A book not a documentary but 'And the band played on' is comprehensive and excellent from what I've read - not finished it as I'm not great with non-fiction books but will return to it now I've watched It's a Sin. Apparently it was made into a film as well.Can anyone recommend any good documentaries that look at the AIDS epidemic?
I have also had this on my TBR list - it’s currently out of stock on the Gay’s The Word e-shop - I’d love to know thoughts from anyone who has read it tooI haven’t read this yet but it was recommended to me after I went on and on about this programme
