I Dont Want To Be Like Its Homophobia But Genuinely People Do Not Seem To See Gay Men As People Who Have

I don’t want to be like “it’s homophobia” but genuinely people do not seem to see Gay Men as People who have unique experiences and personalities shaped by their gayness AND their masculinity.

Tommy is closed off and defensive in that scene because Gerrard basically called him a fairy to his face and now he’s being ambushed with a serious conversation. This is a natural way to react when you’re a gay man because (and I shouldn’t have to explain this) when you’re a gay man and a homophobe is near you, you get uncomfortable and have to retreat into a shell that will keep you safe. This is the reason so many gay men are “sassy” because having an acerbic tongue is often the only defense mechanism for a visibly feminine man. For more masculine men like Tommy, that defensive shell is going to look a lot like retreating hard into masculinity. So a gay man clamming up and getting snippy when faced with homophobia is pretty damn understandable.

Source: I’m a gay man and my main defense mechanisms are silencing myself or using dry humor to deflect.

episodes that i think every tv show should have:

timeloop

whodunit

musical

beach trip

random genre change (especially if it's to a noir detective thing)

one where they get randomly meta and fourth wall breaky but then never acknowledge it again

one where something happened but we as the audience don't actually get to see how it happened and only see it through the unreliable narrated flashbacks as recollected by the characters

Yeah Christopher being embarrassed and refusing to come back until Eddie shaves is great, but I raise you: Eddie saying he'd do anything to get Chris home and Chris telling him to grow the moustache, purely to embarrass Eddie

Patiently waiting for the Tommy haters to say that he's commanding the bees to attack LA or some shit. Move over AntMan, Tommy Kinard has control of the bees and somehow its going to lead to Buck and Eddie getting together /s
