verushka70Conversation I had with my bf yesterday while driving:
Bf: I was watching Starsky & Hutch on that MeTV station that shows all those old shows yesterday.
Me: Yeah?
Bf: While I was watching it, I thought, I never realized... [trails off]
Me: [finishing his sentence] . . .how gay it was?
Bf: Yeah! I mean, how did we miss that? It's totally homoerotic!
Me: They slipped it by, under the radar. Like mainstream America not realizing the Village People were gay.
Bf: God, it is really unbelievable. It was so gay. I never realized it back then.
Me: [incoherent chortle]
This from my very straight (but not narrow) boyfriend. tee hee!
Also, last week I sent my oldest sister the link to a smashing Kirk/Spock slash vid at Youtube with the following message (note that she is not an active slasher, nor a member of any fandoms, but expressed great enjoyment of the "hot cowboy manlove" of Brokeback Mountain).
my email to her:
This is... such a wonderful mix of homoeroticism, hilariousness, heat, and high camp, I don't EVEN know where to begin. Showcasing the young William Shatner's over-emotive style of acting, as well as the not infrequent appearances of bondage & domination imagery in the original Star Trek, and combined with Nine Inch Nails' "Closer," (an industrial paean to self-erasure via animalistic copulation that manages to have a demented calliope sound to it in the middle chorus of the song), this video is just... **beyond.** The volume on your PC speakers should be LOUD.
her email reply:
Well, thanks for putting me in the appropriate mood to confront another Monday as a wage slave. Clearly my response confirms what I have suspected for years -- that I am a gay man trapped in a woman's body. Fear me, hets.
[helpless chortles on my part]
Slash doesn't even need slash evangelism anymore! I think Brokeback broke through to many, many women (and even my boyfriend, who can see the world through slash-tinted lenses now!) And the Internet shall feed them slash! And it is good!
