love story of the modern day

A mock funeral held for Laura Palmer in Tokyo on February 23, 1992.

I have been reading a lot of old leather guides from the 1980s and 1990s and so many queer men came into leather in their 40s or 50s -- some only even came out as gay at all at that age or later. One of the most prolific gay leather handbook writers was married to a woman until he was 45. There's a lot of (frankly pretty ageist) writing online these days about how it's "never too late" to be queer, or to transition -- and usually what people consider the precipice of too late is somewhere around 30. In these old leather books I don't see any hemming and hawing about any age being "too late" or the past having been wasted. I see a bunch of guys who are just absolutely enthused to ever get to live out some of their fantasies, and a real, hungry joy that motivates them to keep on doing it and writing about it, simply for the sake of loving their life. They acknowledge aging and planning for the termination of 24/7 relationships should somebody die; they're clear-headed and rational for the most part about how the body can be injured or certain abilities can break down with age. That's just part of being a responsible leather practitioner at any age. It's never a suggestion that anyone participating is "too old." For many of these men joining the community was a second lease on life. And that's how I feel about both transition and kink things -- and furry things for that matter. I was where I was. I am here now. And being here has made me feel so amped and alive. How could a person ever be "too old" to want to feel the joy of belonging and the growth of doing something new?

I absolutely love the ending of The Talented Mr Ripley.

I love that Tom was able to trust Peter enough to tell him about his past and I love that Peter basically said "Y'know what, I love you no matter what. You are smart, sexy, talented and Dickie and Freddie were kind of assholes, so they should've seen it coming." And the next day they watch the sunset on the boat together. And when Meredith shows up, Tom is all like "Hey, look who I found on the boat?" and Peter played along "Such a coincidence we were on this boat together, and yet Dickie and I have decided are getting married next month" and Meredith was all like "I can't blame either of you. Can I be maid of honour?" and she was and they lived happily ever after.

Truly a classic.
