Gay Themed

I've got a whole new respect for actual vertical series after sitting through a couple of AI generated ones lately. This one especially caught me off guard, no underworld or gang subplot in sight, the girlfriend isn't some evil scheming villain out for revenge, love actually gets prioritized, and there's not that constant cycle of dumb misunderstandings either. On top of all that, we get two new lead actors, and one of them's rocking a pretty hot beard. Story wise though, it's clear at this point everyone's pulling inspiration from the Heated Rivalry formula and putting their own twist on it, and here that twist lands in the world of rugby. Colby Stryker is the golden boy captain of the Los Angeles Stallions, heading into the season determined to hold onto his title, his reputation, and the picture perfect life he's built for himself. His biggest problem shows up in the form of Ridge Maddox, an intense player out of Kansas whose sheer talent and fearless ene...

I honestly had no clue that people were making vertical BL shows in Ukraine, but this production definitely comes from there. I’m not 100% sure if they actually filmed it on the ground in Ukraine, but the production house is based there for sure. Plus, you can totally hear a clear accent that makes it pretty obvious the series was put together somewhere in Europe. Like most of these vertical BL dramas, the story hits on the usual themes of friendship, falling in love, doing what you're told, and a whole lot of mixed signals. The story follows Jake, an orphan from a poor background who beats the odds and snags a scholarship to this super elite college. Aside from one close buddy, literally nobody likes him there, and they spend all their time putting him down. The big shot in town, William, is part of that crowd, and the two of them end up getting into a few messy situations because of it. As a punishment, the principal forced them onto the same basketball team. That’s when William ...

It is quite obvious that our community really needs lessons in tolerance. The fact that films comes from Ukraine, a country from which I had not expected that I will be writing a review on my blog, an attempt at LGBT comedy (or somewhat in that genre), is big surprise to me. As the name would suggest, the film is literally lessons in tolerance of LGBTQ+ community members told through 10 chapters using a regular Ukrainian family as the center point. We have a simple family of husband, wife, a son and a daughter. The family is reeling debts, the husband is lazy, daughter is a wanna be actress and the son is just aggressive good for nothing mechanic. The mom has had enough of it. There’s money available for any family that signs up for and completes a state LGBT+ awareness training course, and it’s quite a considerable sum, too. The way it works is that a course representative who is gay will come and live with the family for three weeks, during which time he will conduct a number of LGBT...
