#Qeer as Folk

[watchinglikeafangirl]

Babe deciding it will be okay to kiss Charlie came with such an amount of intimacy and promises, it left me speechless. It truly feels as if we understand Babe much better and it's actually so cute how he can't stop smiling. They both feel it and I truly hope Charlie will be found out very soon. Because betrayal started to taste worse once that kiss was shared. Babe commits to Charlie and once he did that, he tried to understand Charlie as well and it's secretive which immediatly raises anger.

Characters like Babe remind me of the series "qeer as folk" where Bryan and Justin start living in an open relationship. The only rule or boundary they stick to is to not kiss anyone else. They only kiss each other because it's their proof they are commited to each other.

Babe strangely reminds me of this relationship and the rule they had - though nothing is alike. It makes me understand why him kissing Charlie is such an important thing to him. It's commitment in its own way and it means so much more than just kissing, it is actually overwhelming how whipped he is for Charlie. It feels like he surrenders and since we know he feels everything more intensly, it starts to feel intense to the audience.

Hello, I was wondering why Apo is more suspected of belonging to the queer community than Mile? Listening to various interviews, it seems that Apo is that person, but never Mile. I'm surprised because in my eyes Mile shows many aspects that make me think he's (also) qeer. It was Mile who was the "brave" person who boldly kissed the embarrassed Apo (Workshop) like it's not the first time considering Mile is not a seasoned actor like Apo. Just a thought...I think both are qeer. lol

Homophobia has nothing to do with the sexuality of the person being harassed; it's entirely about the bigotry and preconceived ideas the person(s) doing the harassment have about how gender norms should be performed. Otherwise, why would straight people who don't perform gender in accordance to heteronormativity be bullied as well? They're not gay so it's not about their sexuality.

Similarly, "passing privilege" is a facet of heteronormativity imposed on queer people. Some queer folks get really fussed about how other individuals choose to perform self expression might not garner them homophobic harassment and view that as a privilege 🤨 rather than the fact social norms/values are imposed on a queer person. either way: those who are visibly and obviously queer to even straight people, and those whose queerness is not obvious to straight people. I'm opening a can of worms with this but no one needs to perform queerness for straight people or other queer people 🤷🏻‍♀️ as long as they're being authentic to how they want to self express.

Anyway, this isn't speculation. I'm pointing out the way people view Apo and Mile's identities has nothing to do with Mile or Apo themselves. Even Apo has said this. Apo has said in the past he's always wondered if it was something he was doing wrong, and based on Mile's comment about how he's grown in the last year, it seems like something he is working on not caring about.
