Welcome to the gayest of gay ghettoes, West Lahunga Beach, where Rick and Steve make their fabulously decorated double-income-no-kids home. That is until Rick’s lifelong lesbian friend Kirsten asks him to be the father of her child. Welcome to the gayest of gay ghettos, West Lahunga Beach, where Rick and Steve make their fabulously decorated double-income-no-kids home.

That is until Rick's lifelong lesbian friend Kirsten. Condie's (voiced by Margaret Cho) boyfriend comes out of the closet and dumps her, leading to another failed suicide attempt. The gang decides to bond by vacationing on a gay cruise. Rick resorts to extreme measures with the help of a TV celebrity and an herbal supplement. Kirsten and Dana babysit for another lesbian couple only to discover the horror of the baby's first word.

Meanwhile, Rick and Steve decide to experience each other's lives which brings them to a support group for gay geniuses and a monster truck rally.

Personally, I saw this when it aired in the States last year, and the first series, although short at 6 episodes, was absolutely fantastic I thought. Indeed one of the people that I know was absolutely outraged by it. I guess it all depends on your view points, the type of social environment that you place yourself in, and what you consider to be acceptable humour.

It goes without saying that this show is not for children or those who offend easily. I think this is actually an advancement of gay rights, and not a step backwards as some have suggested. At the end of the day, you could apply the same argument to Queer as Folk, and again to every time they put a camp-as-tits actor on Corrie.

Do you think every straight person relates to everything on TV? Of course not, not every character on TV has to relate to you, whether gay, straight or whatever! Hopefully shows like this will help to make gay-media a little more mainstream so that higher budgets can be attracted and some quality stuff can be produced, rather than the current low-budget that gay media generally gets.

I was rather surprised to see that Q. Allan Brocka was going to be doing something such as this, as it is a little bit of a niche market in my opinion. A great range of vocals there from actors with a lot of experience with working within media with gay themes running through them. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
