Double-Dose!: Bad Gay Movies + Losing Scratch-Off Tickets

Ok now. I am a fine purveyor of LGBT cinema but let me tell you, for every one good gay movie, there are thirty awful gay movies. (Also, by 'gay' movie I mean anything queer. LGB or T.)

So... I'm not saying Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild was a disgrace to cinema. It was campy and cheesy and had Perez Hilton in it, so of course it was mildly entertaining. BUT, when you get a gem of glory such as Shelter, everything else just seems to fail in comparison.

It is like gay movies pull out these stock characters to make a story that we have heard over and over again. Boy is gay (maybe boy is a nerd or a little bit of an outcast), he falls for some other boy (maybe the other boy is a jock or the most popular boy in school). Now the boy has to deal with his unconventional emotions, come out to his parents, get gay-bashed, and then have a steamy sex scene in the woods somewhere.

Or maybe you've seen this one: Gay man is upset with his gay life. He is tired of one-night stands and wants something more serious. Mr. Right comes along! But wait, Mr. Right has a secret... he is HIV positive (or he is married to a woman, or he used to be a drug addict, or he is a republican).

Snap. I just explained probably 70% (percentages are always arbitrary) of all gay movies to you.

Now lesbian movies are usually well-written, I just never get as much out of them. And trans movies are generally wonderful, but I've only had the chance to see a couple.

Now to my second dose of the day. Losing scratch-off tickets.

Ok now. For my eighteen birthday I received a ton of scratch-off tickets. I got one free ticket and that ticket yielded nothing. I felt so gipped.

Maybe I just really have bad luck when it comes to this little bit of fun.  But I think the whole thing is rigged :D

How can I not play these fun little tickets when they're called "Limp Leprechauns" or "Wild Turkey Banging" or "Three in the Milky Way" (all of those titles are completely a mix of random-ass nonsense)? But seriously, if I see a big ol' picture of a leprechaun holding a pot o'gold, imma scratch the hell out of his pot! It beckons me. I feel like this is as far as I can go when it comes to gambling though.

I'm just a little pansy... :D

Much love!
