Straight outta Castro

I loved loved loved this week's episode of 30 Days.

It was the beautiful creation of the Gay/Straight Alliance, so to speak.

The bit that really got me - ok, there were 2 - was when Ryan (redneck state) first met the boys at dinner, and started talking about how it's just wrong for 2 guys to be married .. marriage is from God, it cannot become a same-sex thing.. -

And the contrast of that, to the scene where he was unpacking his stuff, after having arrived back home - and sharing his perspective on how far he'd come, when he heard the things his family was saying about "the gays".

Actually, no - it's the scene where he goes for the PFLAG meeting, and for the first time gets how human even gay kids are (!) - from a parent's perspective.

Ok, I'll admit the speech bit towards the end of Ryan's stay in the Castro, at the wine + cheese party (mmm...) was a little too perfect and just a tad cheesy (pun not intended).

But what Ryan said at the end of it, made it all worth it.

Oh!! Can I just say, the gay bar scene (film, not social) was sooo funny! Seeing Ryan take his top off and dancing the way he did - on the podium in a gay club - was bare-ly bare-able.
