Seeing the recommendation posts and the book discussion posts, I'm actually wonder is there anything produced for or with gay people that's worth it? I can name 3 books of the top of my head, all science fiction, with some gay content, worth reading. The vast majority of it, pure shit. Most of it was produced for and by women who fetishize or treat gays like they do little dogs. The rest is produced by butt-squealing faggots from NYC/LA who are the very definition of plague rats.
Is there such thing as good gay content? That is to say, is there media with a gay person featured as a normal person and not some freak. I'm tired of being demonized by the left for not being a flaming whore who shits a new man's cum every 5 minutes and by the right for not being a super-repressed faggot who kills other gays to score points with some crazy deity for being born a filthy sinner homo. Just some regular person. There's got to be.
Please share what you think is good with gay content. For myself, I think the good portryal of a gay man is in this TV series - Dig (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3597606/?ref_=nm_flmg_t_50_act). The gay protagonist is normal focusing on his duties as a police officer. The gay part is incidental. Like shots of a supporting character and his family.
Another one I think is good is a Married with Children episode (https://youtu.be/uuQF7QQ8htw?t=67).
The problem with identifying "gay" characters in books and movies is that the writers / producers think they have to emphasise the "gay" part of the character instead of making the character normal. I guess this is an outgrowth of feminist ideology that prevades all creative works nowadays.
The Still and The King by David Feintuch. The main character is a bit of a selfish dick, but he is the only son of a royal family who is denied being able to fuck women or he will lose the family's inherited power, the Still. He's a very reluctant bi, which seems tropey, but is so well written.
The last was something I can't remember and can't find. Something like "Alone in the Dark", about a generations ship out on a manned mission to explore and find life. The main character wakes up, unable to remember and thinks another character drugged him. The secondary bi character is a lech and has fucked several people with dubious methods (gets them drunk/high and they are embarrassed to have fucked the ship's slut the next day, he doesn't rape.) When the MC sleeps with the slut it's more implied what's going on and he's "Oh, well, yes, hmm."
As for gays on tv, other than campy shit I enjoy because it's funny, there's nothing I can recommend. The recent Andromeda Strain had a gay character that literally only said something like "Oh, yeah, I'm gay." That was more diversity shit than actual gay. He was a sexless soldier in the background, so, just done to give them kudos. There was no point to it, he had no reason to say it, the whole exchange was forced.
There was one tv movie that's not Scifi that was surprisingly not-queeny shit. John Stamos and the gay guy from Firefly starred in a movie about them being brothers, one was gay and the other straight. Both were in relationships that they were cool with. It was before the supreme court case, so gay marriage wasn't legal. I really liked it because they took a nuanced approach to how families deal with it. Because Stamos' character was fine up until his bother wanted to get married. It ended with them debating whether it was right and Stamos' character still hadn't changed his mind. This one was a good movie of the week, but boy did it set the community into full-frothing fucking fits. By community, I mean the queers (straight women with stupid hair who claim not to be straight) and their purse dog-type queens. This was at the end of my involvement with the community because these people were going mainstream and I pulled the cord on the gay train as the next station was my stop.
That episode of Married...With Children was the freaking highlight of my young gay life. A normal person was gay. And Al didn't instantly hate him showed what real life could be like. It was super fucking funny too.
