Gripping storyline! It's both timely, emotionally fraught and suspenseful.

TRUST ME, a LOT of gay minorities feel this way due to the Mal treatment within the gay community. That being said: I'm just going to refrain from responding unless it's people within the strip that I like because we have someone like Wildcat that basically threatens me when I respond. But hey, it's ok....right...?<br /><br />JackJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278253171243279430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9442503.post-23368677342706357882023-02-04T09:20:03.735-05:002023-02-04T09:20:03.735-05:00@Jack: You're not wrong.

I react stronger to someone like Ed and Darren. I think that most gay men have this "doom and gloom" attraction that makes no sense. If you want drama, listen to a Judy Garland album or watch Dynasty reruns. <br /><br />Price can be around (even though he sexually assaulted Brad) Richard tried to sleep with Breyer and Lance was a user. Got it. Nice way to trivialize what Price did and continues to do. There has been no growth, no cough, no redeemable qualities. So, Gay men= drama attraction. Got it.<br /><br />JackJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278253171243279430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9442503.post-64760712429459843082023-02-01T10:02:55.099-05:002023-02-01T10:02:55.099-05:00No, that seems to be your position.
What I'm ...No, that seems to be your position.<br /><br />What I'm saying is that there are a wide range of characters at the B&B. Some of them do bad things either on purpose or through carelessness or misunderstanding, and then the other characters respond.<br /><br />I like that dynamic because it keeps the B&B exciting and interesting to read about. And it also gives us the opportunity to watch characters learn and grow. We can explore stereotypes through the relatively innocuous medium of a comic strip.<br /><br />In short, having Price (and Richard and Lance) around gives us, as readers, the opportunity to have strong emotional responses to the story. If Kyle threw out every B&B resident who did anything bad or insensitive, then it would be a pretty boring place. It's the drama that keeps the stories moving forward.<br /><br />Does that excuse what Price did? Of course not. Does it mean I want to see what Price is going to do next? Absolutely.<br /><br />-- Thom H.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01140899716464834219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9442503.post-54769071933800473572023-01-31T11:56:16.008-05:002023-01-31T11:56:16.008-05:00Thom:

I'm sorry but I just don't see what Price has to offer outside of the stereotypical gay man who is unhappy and looking for drama. So far in the strip, Price has sexually assaulted Brad, tried to take over the bed and breakfast, tried to sleep with Lance and Drew, and now this. How much drama do the readers here need? I would recommend putting him out because there has to be some type of emotional growth enough to set boundaries.<br /><br />JackJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278253171243279430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9442503.post-4697395142168065002023-01-27T00:04:57.673-05:002023-01-27T00:04:57.673-05:00I have a feeling Levi and Kyle are going to end up...I have a feeling Levi and Kyle are going to end up together....Joulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799737935429337655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9442503.post-56680873837657430992023-01-25T20:22:15.022-05:002023-01-25T20:22:15.022-05:00@Comicsprof:
