Bonus video! Gay high school boyfriends, and David Lynch's queer work
Hello there!
I just came across the application letters from a bunch of the early cast of The Real World, and found a funny story about Pam (from San Francisco) and a high school experience that I suspect many of us will find familiar.
Plus! As we remember the wonderful work of David Lynch, I want to share a few recommendations for queer moments in his movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, there aren't many! But the few that he has are very good.
Also, if we're using "queer" in the sense of "weird," you may want to feast your eyes on his hard-to-find followup to Twin Peaks, an attempted sitcom called On the Air. We'll be streaming a few clips from that, and also the pilot of Twin Peaks, on today's Twitch livestream.

I posted this on the YouTube. Mentioning the islands means the area spoken about is Chandler Blvd from Laurel Canyon to Van Nuys Blvd. Was always a high-end neighborhood. Lots of trees and grass.
Ahhh that makes sense. I was there right when the busway opened so I wasn't familiar with what was there before!
When your David Lynch video comes out I’ll be one of the first people to watch it
I didn’t realize The Straight Story was David Lynch. It’s been a while but I loved it, but separately (with different parts of my brain) from my love of Mulholland Drive, for example. Edited to add, I just learned from Google it is literally called The Straight Story because David Lynch deliberately made a movie with linear chronology and without the surrealism of his other work. And it’s great.
Yeah it's very different from his usual style! But I think the production methods are quite him.
