strangercreature: allthelonelyplaces: I know we don’t get happily ever afters in real life. I’m a hopeless romantic, not a total fucking idiot. As my friend, Russell, said to me once, “Even with the happiest couples, one of you dies first.” But first there is such unalloyed joy. We went to the supermarket yesterday and we were wandering around and, at one point, he took my hand, because that’s the kind of thing he does. And instantly, I got flustered. Residual anxiety. Remembrance of past battery. Enduring scars. Even though I know I’m hardly likely to get my head kicked in by the salad bar, PDAs can still make me nervous. And then he said, gentle as anything, and I’m not going to do the accent… “If there’s a gay kid in here with his folks, frightened that he’s a freak, don’t you think that it might give him hope, seeing two guys wandering around, being themselves, getting their groceries, like everyone else?” If happiness is a place… it’s the biscuit aisle in Sainsbury’s. And anywhere else I am with him. several months ago the ever wonderful @roguewen came through to help me track down the video for this which I’ve only just watched while fucking weeping like the sap I am so here y’all are if you too would like to watch alan cumming deliver a 20 minute gay monologue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QF8rPnuypc Aggressively here for everything to do with Alan Cumming, but ESPECIALLY here for him delivering a 20 minutes gay monologue. -- source link
