For starters let me just say that I am so happy that Wes was not the straight mate. Half way into the show tonight I realized the straight mate was Franklin. He gave himself away in my book when he got so defensive. Andra was talking about the fact that they were all there because of her and that if people are being deceitful then James has something to loose from this. And Franklin and Andra got into a pretty heated conversation. I sensed something odd about the way he was acting. I knew then, it had to be Franklin. I hope that things work out between Wes and James.
I have many homosexual friends and tonight I started crying because I have discovered that this show is actually having an impact on people. I am a straight female and live in a small and prejudice town in Michigan where people that are gay or "non-white" are ridiculed and are treated horridly. This is something that I am not use to. I am a native Californian, born, raised and lived there all my life. I come from Southern California, Los Angeles. In California there are more open-minded/liberal thinkers. In the year that I’ve lived in Michigan for school I have been astounded at the narrow minded, ignorant people in this world. Since the show Boy Meets Boy began I have noticed that things are a little different. I have heard on several occasions in town or on campus people commenting on the show and they seemed very optimistic about it. I have heard people say "I thought you could tell a straight man from a gay man. I guess I was wrong." or “You know I thought all gay men were girly and never thought they would be masculine like me and my friends. But some of the guys on there are really cool." I hope that this show does bridge the gap that ignorant people have created between the "straight" and "gay" people.
As Dan put it on the show...."At the end of the day we're all just people!!!!" And As James said and I couldn’t agree more.......It's not about two men together, two women together or a man and a woman together....its just about two people in love.
