Marvel's 'The Eternals' Star Says Filming Of MCU's First Gay Kiss Was So Emotional That 'Everyone Cried On Set'
February 18 | 2020
The Marvel train is charging forward, with the new movies in full swing of development. One of the more interesting ones is The Eternals, a movie about a secret race of superpowered humans.
The movie is also notable as another chance for the MCU to get some proper LGBTQ+ representation.
<p><strong>Actor Haaz Sleiman, who plays one half of the film series' first queer couple, has said the film includes Marvel's first gay kiss.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">

Everyone cried on set. For me it's very important to show how loving and beautiful a queer family can be."</em></blockquote><p>Which, honestly speaking, is super adorable, but it's also important for representation. </p><p><strong>So fans have plenty of reason to be excited</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">

For realsies this time.
The Universal and Blumhouse film has a new release date of March 13th, and a new ad campaign about how "the most talked about movie of the year is one that no one's actually seen".
<p><strong>The uncanceled film even comes with a brand-new trailer.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">

<p></p><p>The film is loosely based on the short story, "The Most Dangerous Game," where a man becomes trapped on an island owned by a rich and successful hunter who has grown bored with game hunting, and instead hunts humans for the challenge.<br></p><p>In the movie, 12 strangers who have shared conservative views online are kidnapped and hunted by rich elites.

Guy's Analysis Of How 'Cheers' Was Ahead Of Its Time When It Came To A Risky 1983 Episode Tackling Homophobia Is Spot On
February 07 | 2020
Cheers is one of the most beloved sitcoms today. Its characters feel like friends to many, as the show has been successfully syndicated worldwide since its finale in 1993.
Because of its fame, it might be difficult to imagine that it was on the verge of cancellation due to low ratings.
<p>This was the case in the first season, however, as the show was ranked 77 out of 100 shows that debuted around the same time.</p><p><strong>So you might be surprised to find out <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/cheers-gay-episode-matt-baume-culture-cruise_n_5e3af3d7c5b670682955415e" target="_blank"><em>Cheers</em> decided to air an LGBT positive episode</a> in the early '80s, despite the ratings risk that would imply.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube">

<p></p><p>There is <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SRSTelevision/comments/1cnqiy/so_i_just_watched_the_gay_episode_of_cheers_the/" target="_blank">a critique to be had</a> of the <em>Cheers</em>' handling of homophobia. Of note, the bar regulars espousing homophobic beliefs, the ones you see in the rest of the series, don't actually have their minds changed by the end of the episode.<br></p><p>However, <a href="https://medium.com/@DShorb/the-night-that-homophobia-came-to-cheers-f7e0574e8476" target="_blank">the message of acceptance</a>, especially at the time of the episode's release, is pretty brave. This was the early '80s, around the start of the AIDS crisis. </p><p>In the video, Baume points out there is actually an important aspect to the discussion of turning <em>Cheers </em>into a gay bar. Gay bars were a place of safety and comfort for many who would be otherwise discriminated against elsewhere.</p><p><strong>The analysis is very well done.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">

<p></p><p>Funny enough, today's gay bars face the opposite problem. Now, gay bars are trying to figure out how to deal with too many straight people invading gay spaces.<br></p><p><strong>In an interview with <em>HuffPost</em>, Baume says:</strong></p><blockquote><em>"The difference, of course, is that straight people have a long track record of bad behavior when it comes to gay bars. That's why the LGBTQ community has needed to maintain hangouts where we can escape from heteronormative society."</em></blockquote><p>While the theme song to the show emphasizes that <em>Cheers </em>is a place where you can go when things aren't going all right, or where everyone is accepted, it's this episode that solidifies it.</p><p><a href="http://www.mattbaume.com/" target="_blank">Matt Baume</a> has several ongoing projects in addition to Culture Cruise.

Nebraska Teacher Tears Up After His Students Buy Him New Sneakers To Replace His Favorite Pair That Was Stolen
January 31 | 2020

A good teacher holds a special place in our hearts.
As we grow up, we may forget specifics about what someone has taught us, but not how they made us think and feel.

<p></p><p>Mr. Payne teaches the 'Living' class at the school. You might know it by a different name, 'Home economics'.<br></p><p>He also refereed basketball games and the Nike Zoom KD12 shoes were his favorite for the sport. However, they were stolen from his classroom one day.</p><p><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/30/us/new-shoes-teacher-trnd/index.html" target="_blank">Payne says</a> he tries to instill the idea of building up those around you, something that <a href="https://www.georgetakei.com/people-describe-the-teachers-who-completely-changed-their-life-2641184676.html" target="_blank">can change your life.</a></p><p><strong>But even he was surprised at the level of the act of kindness.</strong></p><blockquote><em>"They're eighth-graders and for them to think outside of themselves.
