I saw it yesterday.....brilliant. I saw the live show and this production with the Original Broadway Cast from 2016 was amazing.

We enjoyed watching the gay movie Akron on Amazon Prime. You won't find two cuter leads. They fall in love in their freshman year in college, but there is a secret among their mothers that seriously complicates their path. The acting is good, the story sometimes not.
Mathew Frias plays Benny
Edmund Donovan plays Christopher

@Lucky. I agree, The Politician was good entertainment and covers several current political issues. One of the many things I liked about this production is the diversity of the cast. The cast included many LGBTQIA members. That’s something that needs to be celebrated.

I don't understand why the original pride flag didn't already cover everyone.

As a local there are still some restaurants that offer outside dining. A few restaurants are simply closing (again). But remember, bars are closed, as well. Most every restaurant does do takeout and/or delivery, so you do have that option. If you are looking for rest and relaxation around a pool while wearing a mask, it’s your spot! Personally, I would recommend waiting a few more weeks. Instead, try to create a staycation at home with fun food, fare and such. It’s a thought...

I'm afraid if I don't endorse the expanded abbreviation I'll be referred to as non accepting or non inclusive, and that's not me. But at some point we need to draw the line, I don't know what it is but please how do we educate or discuss with non LGBTQ2S+ what we are when I don't even understand it.

Visiting the Recoleta cemetery in Buenos Aires is like visiting a museum!

Like any internet-based transaction, the website is required to validate the purchaser is the same as the cardholder and the purchaser has the card in their possession (i.e, they have not swiped someone's credit card number). That's why they ask for the name as it appears on the card, zip code, CVC number, and sometimes address. The CVC demonstrates the purchaser has the card. The name, zip, and address is used to compare to information on file at the credit card issuer. Since a gift card collect s none of this information, it can't be verified.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I like The Politician for the most part. It's entertaining as well as informative.
I liked Hollywood too.

I don't know. But you might find your answer in the upcoming Part XXXVII, due out in Fall, 2026.
 
BTW, I very much like your tagline: To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone. Well said.

I first read about it in BBC. While there might be some degree of sensationalism around the media, it is still something we shouldn’t be cavalier about. Total panic is unwarranted. But total disregard is ignorant.

Re: your question--well, yeah. But as a fellow fossil, I wonder how many older gay men really identify themselves as part of that big tent. I can remember a time when many of them even had to be coaxed to join with lesbians, much less the rest of the letters and symbols. However, the TQI+ need a larger group to belong to for more political weight, and the LGB are the only logical group to join. Besides, a seven letter acronym does give the media a more politically correct label to use than PERVERT.

Tho as an adult I’ve always been out as a gay man, I reject labelling and I dislike this forced acronym.

I was unaware until recently that the acronym for the gay, lesbian, and trans community had been expanded to LGBTQI+
It's my opinion- and that's all it is- that cramming us together into some lengthy acronym makes it easier for the media to avoid
saying "gay" or "lesbian." With the added QI+ it complicates it further. I see myself as gay, not LGBTQI+ .
Naturally, I am happy to hear what you think. Am I just an old fossil?

I had to look up intersex. I too must be past my shelf life

When I see a one-finger salute I move on the the next ad.

One finger salutes.
 
I understand them in traffic, have seen my share, and know what they mean in that context. But I don't understand such displays in ads the purpose of which is to entice the viewer to want to share time with the ones displaying the digit. Is there some other meaning to be conveyed and understood in such a gesture, one I'm not aware of? Is there a context in which it's intended as cute, friendly, or acceptable? Is it an attempt to be seen as rough or tough, or a nervous impulse that just falls flat, at least with me?
 
And it's not just having posed for such a photo in the first place. It's also the ill-considered choice -in my view- to include it an ad. When I see it in a provider's ad, I find it immediately offensive and impossible to overcome.
 
Recognizing that I may be extreme in my reaction, I would like to learn of others' views of and insights into this practice.

My PC wants me to set this up. Can someone pls tell me what it is and why I would want it? I use Firefox...

Ben Platt is currently sporting a moustache and talking about the possibility of a movie version of Dear Evan Hansen.

A lot of interesting info to think about.
Reminds me how a lot of health care providers know too little about medical needs of gay men. Thx for sharing this.
