Yeah, we'll see about that.

 

I always saw myself as a Betty White kind of guy.

Ha! I can't wait for "Tweety" in the Oval Office to get wind of this.

Sounds good to me! Be nice if they had real gay actors playing the roles.

Blanche was such a character!

 

The article linked to another that listed the actors at a table read, all gay.

I was hoping for someone like Victor Garber

This video has some clever content from three elders that could be the basis for the golden gays show.

They remind me of some fun fellows I used to chat with, afternoons at Streetbar in PS.

What's next? Maybe a straight version of Sex in the City?

From Variety

 

The half-hour, single-camera series is about two older gay men and one twink (their buddy’s young lover) that rescue a friend who’s been forced-back-in-the-closet at his homophobic assisted living facility. After they bring him back to their mid-century Palm Springs house, the foursome creates a fabulous family of friends. Super Deluxe, which is owned by Turner Broadcasting, will develop the series for a cable network or streaming platform.

 

Warning signs: single-camera; one twink; Palm Springs; fabulous family of friends

[+ Kman]

Sounds like a good show. But Victor Garbe looks like a male version of Dorothy.

It would be fun if they include a transgender person like Caitlyn Jenner or Chi Chi La Rue. I think proper writing, stories and characters can make it go mainstream. Us gays are just people too and quite interesting people at that!

Chi Chi La Rue is a drag queen.

[+ Kman]

I think Nathan Lane should be included and Harvey Fierstein.

[Walker1]

Chi Chi La Rue is a drag queen.

 

~Boomer~

Well, yes ok maybe a drag queen, transgender, pansexual-somebody with a larger than life personality would be fun to see the personality and the person behind it.

[TruthBTold]

Please keep Nathan Lane away. Also, I hope that it is better than Vicious is (was). It is time that stereotypes are laid to rest. The writers should concentrate on specific individuals and their personal foibles otherwise it will become old very fast.
