Interesting Quote: Andrew Haigh

“I would love it if there were more shows with different types of gay people, but I couldn’t do that with Looking. What is frustrating is that gay people complain that there is no representation on screen, but then when we made Looking, not many people actually watched it. We had really low viewing figures and got cancelled! … A lot of people seemed to talk about it without actually watching it. So many people said ‘I didn’t watch your show, I didn’t like it’, but they’d admit they barely watched the pilot. So you’re making a judgment on two seasons of a show after watching just five minutes, and turning it off because somebody was being jerked off in a wood and you didn’t like what that said about gay people. I do think it is rooted in a fear where we want representation in the world, but only of the best of us. Now, it is of my feeling that if we want true acceptance, then we should be accepted fully, as shitty people, who have emotional baggage and who do find it hard to be gay. I have no problem with those characters being on screen.”

Interesting Quote: Jonathan Groff

For me, the ongoing discussion about representation and if the show is doing a good or bad job of that was further reason to keep the show going. Obviously these were issues people felt passionate about and stirred up a lot of conversation, and that was really exciting to me, and it further proved the point that having a show like this on the air is really important. 

It also taught me something I didn’t know about the gay community: We’ve reached a point now where the gay community is so broad, in its ages, its feelings and its stories. It’s now a teenage boy bringing his boyfriend to the prom, as much as it is a 55-year-old man. Literally, a 55-year-old man came up to me at the stage door three weeks ago to tell me that Looking is saving his life and he’s thinking now about coming out of the closet. There’s such a broad range of experiences, and the gay community is in such an interesting place, where we’re so multifaceted and multidimensional. 

To me, the response to the show demonstrated that there’s so little gay programming and so many gay stories, so a lot of people wanted it to be their story. Hopefully one thing that’ll come from the show is that more people will feel inspired to share their stories.”

HBO cancels 'Looking'

Well, it looks like this was the final season of Looking. HBO has cancelled the series due to poor ratings and possibly viewers' reactions.

The series seemed to be promising, but many viewers felt that the stories were too slow and the some of characters were, at times, hard to like.

While the series may be over, Patrick story will continue in a special. HBO will wrap up the story in a HBO film, something similar to another series, 'Hello Ladies'. I have to say that I saw this coming, too many fans struggled with the story line and characters. Hopefully, they will be able to give us a good ending in this special.

Unlike some blogs that troll Congressmen's Instagram accounts, I troll stars.

And thanks to a few gay geeks, I found this little post on Russell Tovey's account.

Dan Parent is the greatest
