Regarding the ATWT Fan Panel Poll.....
Regarding Stephen Fry's
Regarding Stephen Fry's comment, I've often wondered something similar. I live with a couple of nice, but at the end of the day, very straight boys, and I've noticed that if I'm watching a gay movie or somesuch, they frequently become discomforted by gay sex, if it shows up in the movie. On the other hand, I don't get uncomfortable watching two straight actors portray heterosexual intimacy. It's a curious double standard that I think will gradually dissolve in direct relation to the increasing acceptance of homosexuality in our society. Because lauding straight men for their "bravery" in portrayng homosexuality is because in our social narrative straight men are supposed to be discomforted by homosexuality, and overcoming that aversion is commendable in that same narrative. It's sad, but it's changing. One person at a time, it's changing.
