Actually, what we really need is more gay romantic comedies. (-:

[emthejedichic.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[deadtree.livejournal.com]

hear, hear!

[amethyst-rei.livejournal.com]

YES. x100.

Guh, this so badly.

[bamboo.livejournal.com]

this

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, and hopefully they can avoid some of the sketchy things a lot of romcoms tend to pass off as harmlessly "romantic."

[fenm.livejournal.com]

True! But then, I want STRAIGHT romcoms to stop doing that shit, too...

[(Anonymous)]

Absolutely!

[(Anonymous)]

What kind of things? I don't watch a lot of romcoms.

[(Anonymous)]

So far, so good on that front. There aren't a lot of gay romcoms, but the ones I've seen don't stray into the creepy, no really this is romantic and not abusive crap the way straight romcoms tend to.

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

Heck yeah.

[havemy-heart.livejournal.com]

Yes

[smittenlotus.livejournal.com]

Yes please. :3

Also OP, watch Good Luck Chuck or The Ugly Truth. Those are two marketed rom coms that will make you never want to watch another one again, ever.

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

I didn't see it, but I have a friend who actually, unironically liked Good Luck Chuck. Then I saw Film Brain review it on Bad Movie Beatdown. Now I no longer trust my friend's taste in, well, anything.

[raccoons.livejournal.com]

Came here to say this.

[(Anonymous)]

A thousand times yes.

[red-pill.livejournal.com]

i had never given it much thought befor i read this secret, but this was my first thought when i read it

so seconding this so hard. :3

[citrinesunset.livejournal.com]

I used to feel the same way.

But in real life, gay relationships can be just as beautiful as straight ones.

[la-petite-singe.livejournal.com]

Ugh, why? They're terrible. I mean, romcoms. And being queer is awesome.

[runonmoonlight.livejournal.com]

Have you seen D.E.B.S or But I'm a Cheerleader? I mean they also fall into the realm of total camp, which is a little different from the average romcom. But still :D


[Also, sometimes I want some light hearted gay-fluff. I enjoy my serious stuff, but sometimes I want to see ladies falling in love with other ladies, and there not really being too much angst about it. Unless said angst is because one is a super-spy in a kilt, and one is a super-villian and that is why their love shall-not-be-named.]

So maybe it's not so much rom-coms, but camp-rom-coms? Where they actually seem to be having fun with it :D

[shadowpiranha.livejournal.com]

Romantic comedies make me want to go on a shooting spree myself.

[filed.livejournal.com]

This. Also love your userpic.

[cleverthylacine]

Romantic comedies make me glad I'm queer. Queer people, whether in same- or opposite-gender relationships, generally have better communication skills and don't do things like assume they are being cheated on because they see their prospective partner hanging out with someone attractive that they don't recognise, or assume that a relationship is monogamous before it is... I'm not saying relationships between queer folks are all perfect and non-dysfunctional, but we tend to use our words when we're not sure what's going on. Also very few people would lose their shit over someone else's "number" and those that did would not be getting the message that it was okay.

Comedies with a romantic theme could be really awesome, gay or straight or otherwise, if the writers could manage to tell stories that wouldn't totally fall apart if:

1) characters communicated with each other and asked each other questions in a polite, non-threatening manner when something looked unusual;

2) characters didn't assume monogamy, let alone ownership, of another person without discussing this beforehand;

3) stalking wasn't treated as evidence of passion and commitment by anyone who isn't an actual 100 year old vampire.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel this way sometimes too.
