🇨🇦🍌 Happy Birthday François Arnaud (July 5th, 1985)

Not enough people are talking about Twisters team of queer hillbilly tornado wranglers. That’s a full fruit bowl, including Tyler’s disaster bi cowboy-scientist ass. They’re the rainbow flag of storm chasers, the Young Avengers of meteorology.

What is their story? How did they meet? Did Tyler put an advert out for his crew like ‘must be hot, hets need not apply’?

Need a movie solely focused on their adventures being gay and chasing tornadoes. They were the story.

“We’re trained to be like, ‘If I’m not exceptional, I won’t be loved.’ Certainly, I think that was my thing,” Gatwa shared. “So, yeah, I think I’m just learning now like, ‘Oh, you are allowed to be loved.’ You don’t have to be excellent or aspire to that term, ‘Black excellence’. What the hell?”

He continued, “There’s so much white mediocrity that gets celebrated, and Black people, we have to be absolutely flawless to get half of [that] anyway. So, I’m slowly training myself out of that and being like, ‘No shit. You deserve love just for existing.’ And that has taught me to be a lot more loving as well, in a weird way.”

The 'Doctor Who' actor, who has faced backlash as the show's first Black lead, is opening up about his struggles with acceptance.

I would like to give my 2 cents on the caring about Hudson and Connor’s sexuality.

My first thought is, actors owe us non of their private lives, sexuality and those relationships can be some of the most intimate aspects of a person’s life. We as viewers who do do not know them on a personal level are not entitled to that information, and neither is their employer. From what I’ve seen they Connor and Hudson are pretty private guys, most of their social media is about the show or other products and in interviews they are very open about their process and thoughts on the show, but unless I’m missing something they haven’t shown to much of their personal lives in general.

My next thought is just the difference in how like genZ treats their queerness vs millennials because of what the I love LA actor said. I am a 23 year old queer woman but have never really “come out” to anyone, I just expressed attraction when I’ve felt it and people around have just figured it out that way. Most of my queer friends are the same way. I know this is not the case for all of genZ but in at least my circle there has never been any big coming out, it’s just oh I think this woman is hot, or can you guys start using they/them pronouns for me and stuff like that. Now this is not to negate the experience of the people who do come out more formally it is just to say that there are people who do not feel the need to do that, and that is not them like rejecting the queer community.

Thirdly, Connor and Hudson have shown that they deeply understand these characters and were 100% percent the correct choices for the roles. They have shown nothing but love and support for the queer community.

I of course want as many queer actors as possible in media, but I think if we continue to treat actors who play queer characters this way it is going to hinder projects like Heated Rivalry getting made
