Spring 2015


Ok, have you seen the Hollyoaks spring trailer? I am so excited about this spring! There will be some kind of triangular drama between John Paul, Ste and Harry which I love! I really think it's cute that Harry has a crush on John Paul. But I hope there will be a happy McQueen couple in the end. Because Ste is actually called McQueen nowdays, since the got married. And Grace and Kim! That could be really interesting to watch!

James Fletcher as Dylan Jenkins.

But, best of all: Dylan! Dylan Jenkins (James Fletcher), Trevor Royle's son, is crossdressing! I am so excited to see what this storyline will reveal. Hollyoaks has had two transexual characters before, Jason Costello and Blessing Chanbers, so I am a bit (secretly) hopeful that it will be a storyline about a transvestite. According to wikipedia between 2-20% of all men are transvestites, according to how to count, and I really belive that. I believe that the estimated number of unknown cases are higher than we think, and Hollyoaks now has their chance to pay attention to this. But it is not the first time Hollyoaks had a cross-dressing character. Between 2006-2010 we had Kris Fisher to brighten our days. Let's hope for a lot of Dylan in the future!

Some sports

Speaking of Manuel and Lalo and their football (soccer) careers! It's not the first time sports has a major part in a gay storyline. And it's not the first time football is of major interest.

Kai Seebach and Joscha Degen in Alles Was Zählt.

First of all, lets remember Joschka for a while... I really loved Joscha and Kai. I think it's a shame the storyline ended so early! Joscha Degen (Carlo Degen) was a depp closetered football player in Alles Was Zählt, who dated a couple of girls, and even married one, before he met the doctor Kai Seebach (Alexander Gier) and there were lot's of sparks! He was so deep down in the closet just because of his football career, and he had to suffer both gay-bashing and oral abuse after he came out with a bang when the team won some kind of cup. But he got his pro contract han he and Kai left Essen together. A sunset ending.

Christian and Oliver in Verbotene Liebe.

Football is a sport for real men if you ask a lot of people. So is boxing. I for one think all sports are for all people, if they like it. And Christian Mann (Thore Schölermann) met a lot of homophobia both before and after he came out in his shooting boxing career. Fortunately he had Oliver (Jo Weil) to pick him up when everything went wrong. He also got gay bashed. I do not know of any out gay boxers in real life. I guess itäs because of the same reason as Christian had such a hard time coming out... But there has been some boxing guys who didn't suffer homophobic behaviour. Both Christian Clarke (John Partridge) and Ben Mitchell (Joshua Pascoe) id some boxing, and also Kim Dahlberg (Jonas Bane) in Andra Avenyn. But I guess it's because they never boxed on any profession level that they got to keep their sexuality their own business. It's a quite interesting aspect of it...

Deniz Öztürk in Alles Was Zählt.

And my personal faourite: iche hockey! I really love ice hockey and we have a great league here in Sweden, which I do follow. Deniz Öztürk (Igor Dolgatschew) in Alles Was Zählt did play hockey. He had some plans to become a hockey pro, but he ended his hockey career because of some different reasons. Homophobia was one. His team mates actually beat up his boyfriend-to-be Roman when they realized that he was gay, and he was a figure skater. They damaged his knee so bad that it almost ended his figure skating career. I understand why Deniz had such a hard ime coming out of the closet. His team mates were really homophobic.

Roman and Deniz in Alles Was Zählt.

Later he started figure skating instead and actually had a small pair skating career, first with Stella and then with Roman. That is his boyfriend Roman Wild (Dennis Grabosch). And it really was lovely. Roman on his hand, also had a period when he was deep into the closet. In the beginning of the series, when he dated Andrew Wellington, he even lied to Annette about his sexuality. And later in the series, we got to now that back in the days when he dated that Marc guy, he was very closetered. But when he got in the paper when he kissed Deniz in Jenny's hen party, he realized that it was time to come out. There are some out gay figure skaters in real life as well so...

Just as a fun fact, also Roman's little brother, Florian, had some kind of coming out moment when he, also a hockey player, was in love with his team mate Frank. But Frank was no Frank but a Franziska, who dressed as a boy to get to play in the hockey team. That was also a cute storyline.

Lari in Salatut Elämät.

And of course, we have our beloved Lari as well. Lari Väänänen (Ronny Roslöf) in Salatut Elämät also had a shooting hockey career before him, when he met Elias Vikstedt (Petteri Paavola) and was kind of forced to come out of the closet. But he only did that after his team mates beat him up so badly that he couldn't play hockey any more. Also the knee. What is it with homophobic hockey players and damaging other peoples knees?! But I guess Lari is alright today anyway, even though he didn't become hockey pro.

Ronny Roslöf and Petteri Paavola in their hockey team.

And just as a anecdote, both Ronny Roslöf and Petteri Paavola, that is Lari and Elias, are playing hockey in real life. It hardly comes as a surprice because they are from Finland. Hockey is really big in Finland as well. Here they are in their team. I guess, by the look of it, that it is some kind of veterans team.

I am personally very interested in LGBT in the sports culture, and really do think that we need more open LGBT-people in professional sports. Mostly, when gay character is doing sports in a higher level in soap operas, or in other TV-shows (Like Zero in Hit the floor) they are deep down in the closet and they have to deal with daily homophobia. I think that is taken directly from reality, tragically enough. But, for the daily soaps to, give space to those storylines, is helping the awareness of the problem in sports communitys. I do hope for more such storylines, and I do hope for more professional sportsmen to come out as gay. We need more awareness and less stigmatization!

Botineras

The Botineras main cast.

So I started watching Manuel and Lalo from Botineras. I've seen 25 episodes and I love it already! And a new telenovela is just what I need right now. Right now I really need to watch storylines that already has an ending, because all the soaps I am watching are giving me angst. Right know I feel angst about Looking because I am convinced that the special episode we are going to get will end with Patrick and Richie getting back together and I don't want that! I have angst because of Hollyoaks and because Ste and John Paul is in kerfuffle with all the HIV, Sineads baby, Sineads cousin that will show up and because of John Paul snogged with Harry. I am sure we're in for a long wait until McHay will be happy. I have angst because of Robron i Emmerdale because Robert is married and Aaron is hurting. And I have a lot of angst because of Salatut Elämät where I am sure that Larias will be the end-game, but that would be a scandal if you ask me because Lalle (Lari and Kalle) are made for eachother! So because of that I do need a storyline with an end, because when it ends, even though it might not end how I want to, there is nothing to do about it because it has ended, and there is no point of angst.

Anyway, Botineras. Botineas is an Argentinian telenovela and it is a lot about football. the wod botinera seems to mean football wife or a least someone who is desperate to become a football wife. But the gay storylines central figures doesn't sem to want any football wives, because they seem to only want eachother.

Manuel and Lalo.

This is Manuel and Lalo. They play in the same football team and taakes liking of eachother, Manuel "Flaco" Riveiro (Christian Sancho) is the married star of the team and Gonzalo "Lalo" Roldán (Ezequiel Castaño) is the younger newcomer of the team. And there are sparks! Both are closetered when the storyline starts, but there are snogging already in the first episode of the youtube-playlist. And, as told, I love it! The actors have great chemistry, the storyline is quite interesting, the actors do a ggod job as well and the special scenes between them is so beautiful composed! Let's just say: Coldplay - Trouble and strings! I have really big expectations on this storyline, and it has already given me some latino fire! Love it, love it!

Stop cancelling my favourite series!


Really HBO? Are you really going to cancel the best thing you've done since Sex and the city? That is so not cool! The end was awful, lets agree about that. But I read that there will be a single special episode just to wrap it up. And according to Russel Tovey it is going to be a whole movie! Well, I have to trust you on that then. But I am still not happy! I want a whole season. And if the movie ends with Patrick getting back together with Richie I will be seriously affended as a Kevrick shipper! Just sayin.

Third season now!

Richie and Patrick.

I did not like the season final of Looking! Ok, even though I do not like Richie, I really liked the last scene between him and Patrick. It was nice. I really thought there would be some snogging between Patrick and Richie when Kevin and Patrick might have broken up. I really don't think the things that Kevin said was that bad, and even though Patrick is a drama queen I understand him. But why oh why did they give us a wonderful season with fucking against a tree, lots of snogging and cuteness, I love you's and a moving in together just to end it like that? That is really not fair to us hardcore Patrick and Kevin shippers! We do need a third season! We demand it actually!

And speaking of third seasons, we also still need a third season of In the Flesh! I won't take no for an answer! And we do need a third season of G&T, the Italian web series. Both those series ended with real cliffhangers. And I hate cliffhangers.

The hands of Jude and Connor in The Fosters.

And yesterday also this happened. Jude and Connor, aka Jonnor, in The Fosters are just so adorable! Now it seems that they are official. It was also season finale for the Fosters, but there will be a third season. Thank gods for that! Cuteness overload!

Freier Fall 2


Ok, are you kidding me! There might actually be a Freier Fall 2! Freier Fall is one of my absolute favourite movies and I have been loning for a sequal forever! Ok, not forever but since last year when I saw the first one. I really hope that we will get to see Hanno Koffler and Max Riemelt as Marc and Kay again! Please go to the official Freier Fall 2 facebook page and support the cause. It is absolutely crucial!

Telenovelas: Paulo & Miguel

There is something called telenovelas that has been intriguing me for some time now. We don't have that at all in Sweden. Right now we actually don't have any soap operas at all, and I don't think we would have any soon. Soaps are really out of date in Sweden. Boring! But the Great Britain, Germany and USA are providing me with what I need. So, what is a telenovela? It is a soap opera in miniseries format, where the number of episodes are planned and limited from start. The program format has its origin in Latin America where it's particularly popular in Brazil, Chile and Mexico among others. But we have them in Europe to. Germany had Rote Rosen, in which Alexander Becht from Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten starred. But unlike Lenny Cöster in GZSZ, his character Brian O'Reilly was straight. Also Croatia and Spain has telenovelas, and they are very popular in Portugal. I love the concept! But I hadn't had any experienes of them. But then a faghag friend of mine told me about the storyline of Paulo and Miguel, and it happened to be a telenovela! And I loved it, I have to say! I love that it was a nice love story with a beginning and an end, and that I don't have another soap storyline to follow. They are so many right now...


Miguel and Paulo.

But, Paulo and Miguel. Their love story was to be seen in the Portuguese telenovela O Beijo do Escorpião, which means Scorpions kiss, from 2014. The story is about a couple of familys in Lisboa with and there is a shopping mall in focus, but bla bla, let's concentrate on Paulo and Miguel. They are both pilots on a privat jet company and Paulo Furtado (Pedro Carvalho) is deeply closetred because he has a really homophic asshole boss who would sack him if he knew about his sexual orientation. He is best friends with Miguel Macieira (Duarte Gomes) who is a quite sleezy womanizer, but a loyal friend. Until he realizes that he has ended up in bed with Paulo while they were really drunk, and then he becomes a real bastard. I guess that Miguel actually is straight but of course, he falls in love with the lovely Paulo.

Miguel and Paulo on their special day.

If you would want to see this storyline and not want to read any spoilers you should stop reading now. The story ends well with a wedding at the airport where they are both wearing shorts. I wonder if that's common i Portugal to marry in shorts... But anyway, I think it is so interesting how the story usually goes in soap operas and other series when there is a gay couple. I have written about it before, but I will have to do it again. Why soes it always have to be so much violence and why does the abused part always kiss and make up and forgive without winking? Here we have an excellent example of that. When Miguel realizes that he has had sex with Paulo, which he forgot because he was really drunk, he beats up Paulo, he treat him like shit and call him very nasty things, he tries to sabotage at work, he spits on him and he betrays him for his boss. Then Paulo is in a plane crash, Miguel fears that he has lost him and realizes that he loves him and kisses him. And Paulo forgives him without a wink! Why does he do that? Is that how it goes in real life? Unfortunately I think it is more common that we think... But anyway, it has a happy ending, even though it is very quick. It seems like the writers realizes with only a couple of episodes left that they have to wrap it upp and they do want a sunset ending and creates a proposal out of the blue that is not really realistic. But I love it anyway!

Duarte Gomes and Pedro Carvalho.

And I really love this storyline. Ok, the telenovela O Beijo do Escorpião might not be the most fantastic thing ever made, but it is a nicely told story with just the right amount of drama and cosiness, and the story proceeds in just the right speed. Except from the ending. But it is ok. And the actors are really great! Both Pedro Carvalho who plays Paulo and Duarte Gomes who plays Miguel are really good and does a really good job. They have a great chemistry and they manages to convince me that they are in love. I love them both!And if you want to watch their storyline, just follow the link.

And if you would like to watch more telenovelas there are a few with gay storylines. Actually, right now there is an ongoing, also Portuguese storyline in a telenovela called Os Nossos Dias, with a couple called David and Xavier. But I have heard that it is no good, even though Duarte Gomes is playing David. But I think I will give it a chance anyway. Other popular telenovelas with gay storylines are the Argentinian Botineras, the Colombian Niños Ricos, Pobres Padres and the Spanish Un Golpe De Suerte. I will come back to the topic when I've seen any of them!

The best moment of 2014!

Danny Miller and Ryan Hawley.

Yesterday this happened! Amazing! Emmerdale's Danny Miller and Ryan Hawley won the All about soap Best moment 2014 for the first kiss between Aaron and Robert! So well deserved! I actually voted for this award. But not for that moment! I just could not vote for Ste's and John Paul's wedding in Hollyoaks. So I did. But I am actually very happy that Robron won. My vote was a matter of principle, and I really think Kierom Richardson and James Sutton would have been very well deserved of a prize as well, and if I could have voted on two moments, I would have voted on them both. And now, I really think that the first kiss between Robert and Aaron, aka Robron, was the best moment.The most shocking at least!

Alibi freundins

Speaking of girls who fall in love with gays, why don't wee talk a bit about the alibi girlfriends as well, the beards? It's called an alibi freundin in German. Ok, I know, they are the victims, and they are really taken advantage of. They have never asked to be used like that. But they can still be a bit annoying... And there is a lot of them!

First of all we have the legal ones.

Christian and Judith in Verbotene Liebe.

Judith Hagendorf (Katrin Heß) was living with Christian and Olli when they got together and because of his boxing career, and we all know that the the boxing culture is quite homophobic, som Christian needed a beard and Judith helped out. Even though she had a boyfriend. And then Christian came out with lots of noice on a boxing game. I really liked Judith. She was a lovely girl.

Joscha and Raquel in Alles Was Zählt.

Then we had the wonderful Raquel Santana (Yara Hassan) of Alles Was Zählt. She wanted to stay in Germany so she even married Joscha just to be his alibi. And here is a quite similar story, because Joscha had to stay in the closet because of his footbaal (soccer) career, and we all know that the football culture is quite homophobic. But it is only getting better and better! Raquel was hilarious, and I really liked it when she dated Ingo, who is a real favourite character in Alles Was Zählt. Unfortunately she died not long ago, because the writers of Alles Was Zählt is trying to make it some kind of middle-aged soap. I do not approve!

Joscha and Mel in Alles Was Zählt.

But this was not poor old Joscha's first beard. At first he dated Melanie "Mel" Wendt (Anna-Katharina Fecher) "for real" just to hide his homosexuality. Mel is a really shallow character that seemed to only date Joscha to be a football wife. But it seemed that she really liked him, but she was quite brutally dumped. Joscha just couldn't induce himself to have sex with her, which is understandable. After Joscha she also dated  our wonderful Deniz, who really needs to have a new man in his life! Especially when all the girls he is dating are sissys. I really do not care for Mel at all, even though she is Ingo's step daughter and even though she really didn't deserve to be used like that. A really boring, and bitchy, character.

Nina and Deniz in Alles Was Zählt.

And speaking of Deniz, he also had a beard once. It might have been that he quite fancied Nina Sommer (Nathalie Thiede) at first, but they really didn't mash work together but I think that he really delayed the breaking up because he was afraid of his feelings for Roman. Lovely Roman... Nina was a real bitch when Deniz had ended it with her and started dating Roman, but she matured a lot and in the end (she left in 2009) she was so likeable. She was a real good friend to Deniz and she was all supportive of DeRo. As should!

Lenny and Emily in Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten.

And of course, there has been an alibi freundin in Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten as well. And at least this time, Lenny actually was in love with Emily Höfer (Anne Menden) at the beginning, even though he was gay. But you don't fall in love with a gender. And I really didn't like Emily. She really was in love with Lenny and tried to please him so much, I have to give her that but she wasn't really that nice. Not during the relationship with Lenny or after. But I read that she did date Tuner after Lenny and I like him, so she might have become better lately. I don't know.

Iida and Lari in Salatut Elämät.

And speaking of really annoying girls Iida Mustonen (Rosa Rusanen) is really annoying! Ok, she usually is a really good friend to both Lari and Elias, especially Elias, but you will have to look hard for a more whining character! And she is really moody as well and Iida is a character that you never really get to know. If you are following a soap you wil get to know the characters so you will know how they will react in different situations but with Iida you will never really know. She changes all the time and it's like the writers can't agree to how to chracterize her. Really annoying! And she really just snogged with Lari to piss off Janne at first but then she got all in love, pregnant and anorectic and even more whining. Poor Iida.

Will and Gabi in Days of our lives.

And speaking of pregnant, Gabi Hernandez (Gabriela Rodriguez) got the baby, but she waiting almost until the baby was born before she told Will. Well, just what to expect of Days of our lives. Ok, I haven't watched the whole WilSon storyline, I have to confess, because I don't really enjoy it. But I don't really unlike Gabi, but I don't like her either. A quite bland character. Nothing to get excited about.

Hannah and John Paul i Hollyoaks.

And then we have poor old Hannah Ashworth (Emma Rigby) in Hollyoaks that I told you about yesterday. John Paul used her, and we did pity her, and she was alright, but also a bit bland. Moving on.

Rae and Ste in Hollyoaks.

But Hannah is not the only beard we have seen in Hollyoaks. Ste also had one. When he and Brendan was top secretly seeing eachother, Brendan actually told Ste to get a beard. Unfortunately Rae Wilson (Alice Barlow) got the blank lottery ticket. She was a lovely girl that Ste actually had a good eye to the last time she lived in Hollyoaks. But poor Rae really wasn't in a good luck. At first she got pregnant with Ste, caught Ste and Brendan in the act, lost the baby and then got murdered by the notorious Silas Blisset. But not in the same night thankfully. And I liked Rae, even though she was in the way for Stendan, one of my favourite ships.

Cleo and Harry in Hollyoaks.

But we also have two ungoing beard-storylines, and one of them in Hollyoaks. Of course. Hollyoaks have got everything! Are newest addition to the LGBT characters in Hollyoaks is Harry Thompson (Parry Glasspool) and he is Tony Hutchinson's son. He came around in February (second time with the same actor) and I love him already. First it seemed like he fancied Cleo McQueen (Nadine Ros Mulkerrin) but then he made out with John Paul in The Loft! And he is only 15! There are really no excuses for John Pauls behaviour even though he didn't know about his age. But he is married to Ste and should be snogging some random scamps in The Loft. But ok, they have had rough time with all the HIV and stuff, but he still shouldn't have done it! And now it seems like Harry really has a crush on John Paul, who is his teacher! What a kerfuffel! And the lads at school are for some reason teasing Harry about John Paul because they know that John Paul is gay and to save his skin, Harry made out with Cleo and seems to be dating her now. Poor Cleo really like Harry and Harry seems to have a crush on John Paul and this could really be a mess!

Ben and Abi in Eastenders.

And at last I present to you Bem Mitchell and his beard Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald) in Eastenders. I mean, what is he doing? We all know that he is gay. He used to fancy Christian Clarke (which he also accused of assault) and he came out for his dad Phil and he tried to snog Johnny Carter before he went away. What about all this closetness now? He really have no need for a beard. Abi seems to be a sweet but quite bland girl. No really, dump her and bring back Johnny! Or do a cross over where he starts dating Finn in Emmerdale. Or maybe Harry in Hollyoaks. Anything is better than this!

When girls fall for the gay guys...

Don't you just hate it? I mean, you can't help who you fall in love with but who would expose themself for the pain of falling for someone who there is a very very limited chance respond the feelings. I won't say that a gay guy can't fall for a woman, I mean we have seen it in Bob & Rose. If you haven't seen Bob & Rose? Just do it! Anyway, when a girl falls for the gay character, I really hate it. They just cause unecessary fuss. Here are some really irritating examples:

Olli, Christian and Rebecca in Verbotene Liebe.

Ok, on this picture Christian is actually kissing Rebecca (Jasmin Lord). Rebecca von Lahnstein... I really didn't like her before she became a lesbian. At first she dated Christians older brother Gregor, then she kissed Olli, then she used Christian for shopliftng and then she fell in love with him, even though she new he were with Olli. That is so disloyal!And she was so clingy and immature in those days. Didn't like her at all. She was clingy and immature at the same time as Olli and Christian had a tiff, and you can just imagine how messy things became! But then she started dating Miriam and became a little bit more interesting and then she went away in 2011. I didn't miss her. But in 2012 she came back with a new actor (Tatjana Kästel) and this is when it started to get interesting. She had a bisexual fling with Miriam as said, but now she completely fell in love with her brothers wife Marlene and this is when the magic happened. She was more mature and interesting in one episode than she had been in all her previous episodes together! So I have forgiven Rebecca. I like the new Rebecca.

Vanessa and Deniz in Alles Was Zählt.

Vanessa Steinkamp (Julia Augustin) has really changed for me through the years. I started by liking her because she was really supportive when Deniz and Roman started seeing eachother. Then she fell in love with Deniz and by then I really couldn't stand her at all! DeRo is a sensitive issue for me. I am a hardcore DeRo-shipper. If you come between Deniz and Roman I get really really angry. And at last death came between them once and for all. I have rarly cried so much... But I started liking Vanessa again. She is a real nice character, even though I can't forgive her for breaking up DeRo. But everyone deserves a second chance.

Carsten and Lucy in Gute Zeiten Schlechte Zeiten.

And what is it with girls being really supportive about gay relationships before falling in love with them? In this case, Lucy Cöster (Sarah Tkotsch) fell for Carsten when her brother and his boyfriend was in jail! That is such a betayal. Thank gods Lenny had done som anger management and could be really cool about it. Lucy was also really cool and mature, and then she fell for her gay BFF and became a small brat. That was such a non-interesting storyline to follow. And it wasnt even a realistic one! The cruc´sh just came out of the blue and I hated it.

Roxy and Christian in Eastenders.

And Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) and Christian Clarke... Really? She, his best friend, who always was jealous of Syed were of course in love with Christian. What a joke! She always tried to kibosh everything she could between the couple. Roxy is a quite fun and interesting character, who even volunteered as a surrogate for Christian and Syed, but you can't really like her if you are a Chryed-shipper. And I am. Roxy is in the way!

John Paul and Hannah in Hollyoaks.

And poor poor Hannah Ashworth (Emma Rigby). She was a kind of beard for John Paul when he was in the closet and she completely fell in love with him. I mean, who wouldn't! John Paul is lovely! But he came out and Hannah's heart was broken. But she still couldn't stop being in love with John Paul and she did some quite weird things and really tried to get John Paul back even though she new he was gay and she tried to sabotage his relationship with Spike. She really hated Spike. She even had grudge to him when she met him years later. Quite childish. But Hannah was a nice girl. I liked her anyway, but I really didn't like her actions!

So. don't fall in love with gay guys in soaps! You will have all the soap opera viewers who are faghags, and there ate quite a lot, against you. That is so unecessary.

The Fosters

Jude & Connor in The Fosters.

Ok, this is seriously cute! When you read lots of blogs and follow lot of tumblr's and watch a lot of youtube you will get some hints of other stuff to watch, read, ship, you name it! A while ago I got to see these two cuties! These are Jude Adams Foster (Hayden Byerly) and Connor Stevens (Gavin MackIntosh) and they seem to bee in love. The Fosters is an ABC Family drama series with it's second season running right now, and it also has been renewed for a third season. The series is about a lesbian couple and their five children (one biological, two adoptive and two fosters). It seems like a quite cozy series and a cute couple like the guys above in their lower teens (I think) seems to bee something well worth watching. I have given up the thought about following every gay storyline there is, but this I just have to see! I will return while watching it!

Looking for a plot

Russel Tovey & Jonathan Groff.

That was the name of the latest episode of Looking. And it ended as seen above. For me it was the perfect ending of an episode. Kevin also said that he was completely fucking in love with Patrick. Ok, I am a Patrick and Kevin shipper. For me it comes natural because I think itäs obvious that they are in love with each other and I like Kevin and I don't like Richie. Ok, Kevin has cheated on his long-term boyfriend Jon and that is never ok. But weirder things has happened, people do fall in love even though they are in a relationship. But there is something I hink is quite weird. On many different forums (gaydaytime, youtube etc) people seem to think that Kevin is a bastard deluxe and has lots and lot's of conspiracy ideas about him. I read some thoughts about that Kevin has not left Jon (which he told Patrick just before he said that about completely fucking in love) and instead it was Jon who left Kevin because he is a lying cheat. I read another thought about Kevin and Jon still being together but that Jon moved back to Seattle and Kevin is still having a secret affair with Patrick. I think both theories is highly unlikely. But what intrigues me so much is all the hatred for Kevin. I mean, couples where one of the parties has an affair is very common in both soaps and drama series. It happened in 90210 and Dallas, and it still happens. But this seems to sting more than before. In lot's of series the gay character is still in the closet and has a girlfriend when he falls in love wth another guy and has an affair with him before coming out of the closet and is celebrated for that, and the cheating is forgiven. But not in this case. Lot's and lot's of people despises with more frenzy than the world has seen before. I can't help wondering, is it just because he is gay and are cheating on his boyfriend with another man?
