Band of brothers gay
Anon: BoB characters (from the original series) realizing they’re mcfreakin’ gay for a masculine reader maybe?
Richard Winters: He’s not all that thrown by it. It’s just a matter of how he’s going to go about handling the fact that he’s fallen for one of his men.
Lewis Nixon: Again, he’s not all that surprised. There was always a part of him that knew. But he didn’t even try to act on it until the war ended.
Harry Welsh: (I’m sorry guys, but I love him and Kitty so much) He really couldn’t believe it, mainly because of how much he loved Kitty already.
Ronald Speirs: He owns it, not really worried about what anyone will say, mainly because everyone is too scared of him to say anything.
Carwood Lipton: He doesn’t really know what to carry out with these feelings, but he definitely doesn’t camouflage it well.
Darrell “Shifty” Powers: He’s definitely confused, mainly because he’s never felt anything like this before. So he tries to bury those feelings.
Floyd Talbert: He is more than open to it. Floyd never shied away from his feelings, and this wasn’t entirely new to him.

Trent Ford stars as Daniel in “Burning Blue.” | LIONSGATE FILMS
BY GARY M. KRAMER | Burning Blue” is an intense, engrossing drama about a military investigation that turns up a doable “gay cell” on a Navy aircraft carrier in the bad old days of Don’t Demand, Don’t Tell. Daniel (Trent Ford) and William (Morgan Spector) are best buddies. When Matthew (Rob Mayes) enters their unit, a adore triangle, tinged with jealousy, develops, even though one of the men is straight.
Writer/ director DMW (David) Greer, adapting his own engage, has crafted a poignant story about masculinity and sexuality within the customs of the military. “Burning Blue” is really about wanting what others utter you can’t possess. The story, which concludes in 2001, is also one about dignity and individual integrity in the face of discrimination. Ford’s powerful performance is freighted with Daniel’s guilt about a variety of matters.
Greer met with Gay Capital News to confer “Burning Blue.”

Simpering, self-loathing gay stereotypes. That’s why many naysayers are refusing to see the revival of “The Boys in the Band,” now on Broadway for the first time. And that’s a shame — shouldn’t the play be seen as a cautionary period piece, representing how strained experience for gay men once was and how far we’ve come?
When Mart Crowley’s game-changing comic drama, about a tight-knit group of catty “queers” at a birthday party that goes sour, first opened in a fringy New York venue in 1968, gay men were thrilled to finally see themselves portrayed onstage, even if not in the most flattering clear. Lines formed around the block, and the play rapidly transferred to Theater Four Off-Broadway, where it ran for more than 1,000 performances.
A popular motion picture version that retained the entire cast soon followed, helmed by none other than William Friedkin, who went on to direct “The Exorcist.”

PART 1: CURRAHEE - establishing the friendship; flirting
hey, think what scene is the one to introduce the character center of the entire series? why it’s Nix, waiting on Dick, who joins up with him without batting an eyelash. These dudes are clearly used to hanging out
and what happens in this scene? Well, it’s Nix asking Dick on a meeting after the war is over. I will not lie and tell you it’s not essential that the first character establishing scene is one of Nix and Winters - their association is very much at the center of this series. Im sorry I don’t make the rules
Okay like you can interpret the scene as a couple of guys being nervous about jumping out of a perfectly functional airplane, I will grant you that, BUT as a counterargument I will poise the way Nix looks at Dick
Like Dick literally hung the rock, and it hurts Nix to look at him
PAIRED WITH the way Dick looks at Nix after “Should have been born earlier Nix.” “What, and lose all this?”
DICK GIVES NIX THE SOFTEST FOND LOOK IN THE WORLD
