sebastiennePeople in Edinburgh:
See Ms Minelli.
It's brilliant. You will immediately fall in love with this actor, and hir charisma and power will break your heart. Highlight to read trigger-spoilers: this show contains depictions of suicide caused by a societally-enforced gender binary. The audience can feel complicit in this suicide.
The Lashers spent last night sitting in the living room making small squeaking noises. Most of all, I think, it is evidence that Scotsgay is right when they say that Lashings of Ginger Beer Time (or, if not our show, its message) should "be on the national curriculum".
In a tangentially related point, I was glad to see Stephen Fry 'getting it' with regard to my increasing distaste for Stonewall:
"I have stood up and spoken for Stonewall and its campaigns to stop playground bullying and taunting: it is of course the effeminate and overtly camp boys (or butch girls) at school who first come in for that sort of attention, the kind of attention that alcohol and a gang mentality can turn all too readily into gay-bashing and severe violence. Is it now official Stonewall policy that only “straight-acting” gays are acceptable, that today’s Quentin Crisps and Kenneth Williams’s can count themselves as outcast from “the community”?"
