did you have comparable Works where you you saw yourself reflected on TV or film that were kind of really special to you growing up yeah of course it's funny that the sorts of older I get the more I realize like in terms of the fellow Trav fellow Travelers of it all is that you know when Philadelphia came out it was still a sort of very rapid response piece to the AE crisis that actually was in within 10 years and you know I I when someone say to me 10 years ago I think it's 1996 just because everyone sort of freezes at 18 or something but so so you realize the older I get the more I can cherish the V you know the the vital nature of you know Philadelphia and for everyone to get you know to to allow that story to be made but no for me um you know Russell T Davis I think it's funny when I talk about um filmmakers and writers who created those sort of gay narratives growing up which sort of were so for me groundbreaking and you know allowed me to understand certain things I don't get Giddy and it's it's because it's un lot something but Russel T Davis is someone who I feel incredibly sort of um I sort of shudder when I think about him because quir folk was um a complete uh Game Changer in the UK and then I know it was it came to America um and you know I remember I remember broke W Mountain led me from I was writing a my final year at school I had this incredible teacher called Dr Brunton who um was incredibly inspiring but I was writing about the representation of um who to season Randa genocide in um shooting dogs in Hotel Rwanda and then Broach Mountain came out and I was like right how do I what how can I find a reason to go to that and see that 15 times and so I changed the essay to the representation of homosexuality in brout mountain and my teacher I just said look I I think I really want to do this and he just said to me I think you're on to something Johnny go go go and it was all all I needed I look back now and I go God he was so perceptive and just but um so yeah so you know if you think about Angley and on S with with milk and um you know I think Morris as well um because the Spiderwoman um there's so many incredible I remember one of my first dates I went on with the guy that I My First Love was leis the West color and it's just there's a real sort of connectivity to you know the que experience and Brilliant Cinema and and also art like it's so it's amazing when you then finally find your tribe as you get older and you leave school that's obviously always really complicated to various various degrees is that you realize that the people that you end up being best friends with in adult life all had the same sort of responses to the same things and right those touch points are the same those touchstones totally yeah yeah you know we're talking like you know Shakespeare's Sister We're not talking like George Michael which is obviously he's incredible but it wasn't the sort of underlying sort of warm bottom notes of um of queer culture that you up on but um but yeah so there's there's so many incredible performances that and that sort of were stunning portrayals of gay life and also that you know because these actors decided to take you know we got to see them so it's amazing to see how that's changing as well sort of blossoming
