Gay shows on hbo

Without being preachy, HBO’s “Looking” offers a fine lesson that being totally out of the closet, as are all the many characters, can lead to a cool hip (and also warm hot) existence.

A moment of togetherness in the HBO series “Looking.”

By Gerald Peary

You don’t have to be gay, only queer-friendly, to be delighted by HBO’s new 8-part Sunday night series, Looking, which follows the stories of three gay men, the best of pals, as they negotiate their lives in the Mission Castro district of today’s San Francisco. In some ways, it may even be better being vertical (like me, for example) watching the series. My center is on the easygoing drama, and I’m not cognizant of the tiny details of accuracy and verisimilitude which can drive a knowing gay viewer to distraction. The Boston Globe featured a strident invade by staffer Christopher Muther, whose usual beat is metrosexual fashion and au courant music. Muther called Looking “infuriating” and replete with “outdated stereotypes of gay life.” He complained that the characters wore the wrong “undergarments,” what was “popular when Armistead Maupin wrote Tales of the City.” (That would be 197

HBO and 'The Gays'

[quote=“Deuce Dropper”] unfortunately I wasn’t born that way so I am forced to go the hetero route.

… what do you mean? everyone knows gay people, so why not have a homosexual subplot in every show?

this caring of facile analogy takes us all to PC lameness and ruins stories.

… I feel gays are being rammed into every HBO production just for the sake of having them in the plot. a lot of these scenarios are completely out of tune with the main story arc and seem odd (in the story context not in their behavior, please rejoin fairly, the lack of even handed replies from my detractors in this thread is the real hate here).

…

thanks for most of the replies in this thread, but some of you are a little too butt hurt (no pun intended) to talk about this rationally.

cheers![/quote]

Sorry you had to go the hetero route - you can’t conquer them all. Lol

10 Best LGBTQ+ Shows On HBO Max

HBO Max might be one of the newer streaming services, launched in 2020, but that doesn't mean it's lacking in LGBTQ+ content. In reality, HBO Max has made it clear that they are serious about creating LGBTQ+ stories with LGBTQ+ creators backing them. With the HBO catalog attached to the streaming service, there are a plethora of titles to choose from on HBO Max, but the streaming service really strives for its original content.

Since June is Pride month, there's no better moment to explore HBO Max's LGBTQ+ content than now. It's also easier than ever since the interphase currently features an Homosexual Voices collection tab on the search page. The best part is the catalog features everything from teen LGBTQ+ shows to dramas, comedies, and everything in between.
