How Kennedy ended up at the front of the classroom with Drake today she had no idea, but she was going with it, thumbs hooked in her jacket pockets and a put-upon, skeptical look working full-time while she listened to him talk.

"Like last week's lesbians, gay men suffered through stereotypes and being a token character in movies," Drake began. "Gay men went from Evil to Guaranteed to Die of AIDS to Ultra Effeminate Wacky Sidekick. Fortunately, some movies started to take these stereotypes and shake them up, and these days the minute you have two male characters on screen someone starts writing slash about them. Shh, don't tell Arthur about all those stories about him and Lancelot. It's what happens when you get Clive Owen and Ioan Gruffudd together in a movie. ROWR."

"You're kidding, right?" Kennedy interjected. "Man, that is so unfair. The guys get all the attention. And the Academy Awards, like Brokeback Mountain, which I've never seen but it's all about, like, gay cowboys. 'cause that's the best atmosphere ever to be gay in, right? Anyway, it's kind of a downer, so there's this thirty-second version done with bunnies. Yeah." She held her hands up and made a 'back to you' gesture at Drake.

He picked up, "Then there's Latter Days. We have Christian, who, speaking of King Arthur, looks a heck of a lot like the reincarnation of Arthur I know only only with less evil facial hair. He's a waiter by day, partier by night. And we have Elder Aaron, Mormon missionary by day and...Mormon missionary by night. Christian makes a bet with his friends that he can seduce one of the Mormons who just moved in next door and soon realizes that Aaron is very deep in the closet. Aaron is resistant to Christian due to his religious beliefs and because he doesn't like Christian's casual sex ways, but eventually they share a kiss. Unfortunately, Aaron's fellow Mormons walk in on them, and Aaron gets sent home to Utah. Christian realizes he has genuine feelings for Aaron and chases after him ~~NSFW~~, and the two of them spend the night together, though Aaron leaves to face the church over his actions. He gets excommunicated, rejected by his family, and attempts suicide. After that he's locked up and forced to undergo shock therapy to 'cure' him. Christian, meanwhile, tries to track Aaron down, but Aaron's mother tells him that Aaron killed himself. Late one night at the treatment facility, Aaron sees a music video by Christian's roommate about Christian and Aaron's relationship. This prompts him to leave the facility and return to LA to find Christian. They have a tearful reunion and then a happy Thanksgiving dinner with their friends."

"Well, at least you picked one with a happy ending that time," Kennedy informed him, starting up the video clips and going back to her seat.

Priestly

We know Emmett's going to pay attention ~~if he's here~~, but why shouldn't you?

Joan was there and paying attention despite her uneasiness about the fog.

Oh, he was so here. Where was he going to be, outside in that mess? Besides, clips. Hot Mormons. Where the hell else would he be?

That sounded like a fairly complicated plot to Robin. But very romantic.

When/if he pings in. Just in case.

Drake was there, but he was awfully distracted by some King Arthur fanfic he'd pulled up on his laptop, so it might be hard to get his attention.

...who might be distracted by that one waitress in Latter Days. Weird.

demon_cupid because I love.

Trufax: I love Latter Days like whoa, but the movie is actually kind of way triggery for me so I can't watch it often. :/

Thank you, bb. *glomps*

Kate isn't braving the fog to come to class.

And I haven't seen this movie. I probably should.

... Also, now I feel like reading/watching Angels in America.

It is seriously a really great movie, but yeah. The religious upbringing/attempts to "cure" Aaron of being gay stuff hits pretty close to home.

On a more amusing note, it does have Wes Ramsey, Amber Benson, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in it so that's three FH PBs represented.

Oh yes, you should see it.

I, however, fear Wyatt running into Emmett the next time he's on island. ;)

Have I mentioned how much I love that icon?

And yes, he has to run into Emmett. Preferably while Isabel is around.

With popcorn.

I'm sure it can be arranged. ;)

Maybe he'll take his shirt off on CSI: Miami. We can hope.

Emma will also not be in class, due to her brain leaking out her ears.

I tried to tell her that braaaaaaaainz were the wrong BDE, but she didn't listen.
