There’s something so interesting in Amy giving up the driver’s seat to Whitaker when she’s the one picking him up. On the surface level it’s very Traditional Gender Roles that Amy can drive her own truck but only if The Man isn’t there, but there’s also the subtext of Dennis’s subtle martyrdom that he’s getting off a 15 hour shift and the person picking him up is making him drive and I don’t think it’s intentional for either of the characters here but it’s interesting to see Dennis kind of slot into this traditional masculine role to his own detriment when he’s clearly pretty insecure about his masculinity at work given his awkward interactions with Ahmad and Antoine earlier in the season and with Langdon later on. It makes me wonder how much of him playing farmhouse with Amy is about affirming he can still be the person he was raised to be.

THE PITT 1.08 // 2.08

[yearningoverfictionalmen]

Hudson: “What’s always been something that’s frustrated me, not even with like other men, but also just there’s a lot of taboos around exploring physical intimacy with people you admire and love without people, especially in Western culture, being like, ‘Oh, they’re fucking, they’re doing this.’ I just was always frustrated by these kinds of notions. Especially with Connor, who I love dearly, it was something I was always kind of adamant that no matter what people think or want to infer, I’m always going to just physically express my love. I feel like if you’re still biased or jaded or uncomfortable with expressing physical love for people in 2025, you got to f*ing, just, you know, get over yourself.”

it’s the funniest thing in the world to me watching shane make earnest attempts at bratting and missing every time. my little bratfailure. in the vegas bathroom when he tells ilya to suck his dick with that trembling voice and then he immediately turns away from him and wells up with tears. you tried baby. in the hotel room when he throws his underwear and ilya and then we see his life flash before his eyes. you tried baby! cottage roleplay when he’s trying to be all coy only to have ilya spread him out and make him purr like a kitten in 2 seconds. baby we see you trying. phone sex scene where he’s like nooooo stopppppp ilyaaaaaa and then proceeds to climb on the back of the couch for No Reason in his 2” inseam shorts so his dick is eye level with ilya’s mouth for No Reason At All. it’s okay shane baby you can’t be good at everything.

david hollander is the true winner of the idgaf war. he doesn’t know what youtube is. he doesn’t care about shane’s sponsorships. he understands why shane doesn’t wanna go to wimbledon and is just happy to go with his wife. he sees his son making out with his supposed arch enemy and turns 180 degrees, gets in his car, and doesn’t tell a soul. he pulls out the vodka when his newly out gay son is having a freak out at the dinner table. if shane had even 1% of his idgaf powers he would be unstoppable. unfortunately that boy inherited his mom’s gaf-ability, which is constantly set to 150%.

Hi I've been raised from the dead by a new ice gay show how is everyone else doing

[alltoowille]

Yuna and David having watched their autistic son be so isolated all of his adult life and never having a happy relationship or close friends who understand his anxiety and then finding out that the man they’ve spent a decade hating on his behalf can casually talk him down from a panic attack in less than a minute

The Sexual Offences Act 1967

I wanted to share some information and resources on the changes that happened in the UK laws regarding homosexuality in 1967, because I've seen a few posts on various platforms which word what happened very vaguely. I think it's really important that we're accurate when talking about real laws that affected real people, and also knowing the context people were living their lives only leads to more interesting, fruitful conversations.

Essentially my concern is that we shouldn't be boiling the events of 1967 in to simple statements like 'homosexuality became legal in the UK' because that is incorrect. It sends the wrong message about what was happening in mainstream society, and removes all the nuance from the differences between private and public spaces.

The Sexual Offences Act 1967 permitted homosexual acts between two consenting adults over the age of twenty-one in private. It did not apply to Scotland or Northern Ireland, and it remained illegal for men in the military and merchant navy (x). This is important because men continued to get arrested for sex that didn't take place in strict privacy or if there were more than two people present.

Not only that, but the punishment was also made worse if either of the men involved were under 21, increasing the potential jail sentence from two to five years. To be absolutely clear, this only applied to homosexual men, in the UK age of consent for heterosexual sex was and remains 16.

Additionally, research also suggests that after the 1967 act came into play, the policing of homosexuality actually increased and prosecutions went up in the following years (x). There continued to be undercover police operations, jail time, behavioural aversion therapy, oestrogen 'treatments' and more (x).

Lord Arran, who piloted the bill, also had this to say:

"I ask those who have, as it were, been in bondage and for whom the prison doors are now open to show their thanks by comporting themselves quietly and with dignity. This is no occasion for jubilation; certainly not for celebration. Any form of ostentatious behaviour; now or in the future, any form of public flaunting, would be utterly distasteful and would, I believe, make the sponsors of the Bill regret that they have done what they have done. Homosexuals must continue to remember that while there may be nothing bad in being a homosexual, there is certainly nothing good. Lest the opponents of the Bill think that a new freedom, a new privileged class, has been created, let me remind them that no amount of legislation will prevent homosexuals from being the subject of dislike and derision, or at best of pity. We shall always, I fear, resent the odd man out. That is their burden for all time, and they must shoulder it like men—for men they are." (x).

While what he did was radical for a politician of his time, the message here is very clear; gay men should say thank you, be quiet, and we don't want to have to see or hear anything about this again.

And look, I'm barely scratching the surface here. Naturally, it's a really nuanced subject and of course, it was a stepping stone in the right direction. There are some interesting first hand accounts here which range from feeling there was a shift in perspective, that it got much better, and that it got worse. Some people didn't give a shit about the laws in the first place, some people found their community was getting in more trouble after the law passed, others felt it gave them freedom and opened up the way for much more radical movements. All these experiences are valid and true, and like all queer stories, it's complex and nuanced.

But to stress my point, we do need to be careful about the language we're using. In 1967 homosexual sex was partly decriminalised, homosexuality did not suddenly become completely legal or something celebrated by the general population.

To send on a positive note though, I'll remind everyone of this book I shared the other day, which does have chapters detailing the spaces that queer men and women were spending their time and building community where they could be accepted and loved.

Thank you @sgtpeppers <3

May I add (if anyone's interested) to illustrate a bit of Lord Arran's prophetic remarks about the kind of public sentiment gay men could expect, the concise phrase in the Tom Robinson Band's 'Glad to Be Gay': "The buggers are legal now / What more are they after?" That song was released more than a decade after partial decriminalisation, and it gives you a sense of continuing social pressure and, amongst other things, legal persecution of the gay press.

If Robinson is new to anyone, this episode of the radio programme Great Lives, where he was a guest, may be of interest too. (I'm sure it goes without saying, but no it isn't the far right agitator with a similar assumed name.)
