Another Assault on the Fiance's Netflix Preferences

My fiance is not a homophobe or gay-hater or anything like that-he's just a little upset that the films and TV shows I've been watching and liking on Netflix have commandeered our Netflix account.

Exhibit A: Rupaul's Drag Race

Combo America's Next Top Model, Project Runway and good old fashioned game show I LOVE watching this show for a pick-me-up and cheery entertainment. It's not all fun and games though-many of the contestants have dark pasts from coping with their sexuality in adverse environments but for me that extra dose of reality and humanity launches this reality TV show above and beyond it's more hetero compatriots.

Exhibit B: Kickoff

This British comedy was delightful and surprising. I'm not much for soccer and I was happy to find that while the film explored some macho football culture it wasn't soccer-centric and didn't alienate non-soccer fans.

In the film a gay team faces off against a fouling, macho team and the ensuing comedy drives forward through the entire film. I was surprised the film covered just one soccer match but the stories of all the players and their confrontations were hilarious and made the time fly.

Exhibit C: Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

I have found memories of watching this with my sister and mom so putting one an episode while I'm cleaning is comforting background noise with bursts of entertainment!

Exhibit D: Priscilla Queen of the Desert

Classic. Hilarious. Love it. Terence Stamp is wonderful regardless of gender role!

Anywho, Netflix in all its genius has taken my fun picks and transformed them into a "Gay & Lesbian Movies" section that takes space away from the fiance's comedic, crime, and action/adventure preferences.

Oh the hazards of sharing accounts.

Mwahahahaha!
