my brother came to visit me this weekend and I casually brought up some gay opera thing and then he asked me "So what are the different layers of queer content or subtext you see in opera?" and

just

went

off

and talked at him for possibly 30 minutes about the various types of queer rep in opera level by level comparing historical obliviousness to intentional inclusion and everything in between.

I know talk about it all the time but it was so cool doing it in front of a live audience.

He was pretty invested in it too.

#anyway #i love talking with him about media stuff #it's probably about 50% of our convos #he's a film major so he will often regale me with critical film theory #and that one movie about the lemon he says is one of the greatest films he's ever seen but is literally just like 20 minutes of a lemon #it's beyond me #we like a lot of the same stuff and talk about that often #but it's also fun when we share stuff with each other the other one doesn't know much about #i have been waiting so long to talk to him about gay opera in this level of detail #twas a good time
