THIS is how I envision it...... (of course it helps if HE has beautiful pecs to diddle with while you Suck)

So today (Monday) I found myself back at Lagoa around 7pm. They have discounted admission of 50 real Mon-Wed, free cabins and 15 real rooms. FYI, the cabins are really awful - I asked to look at one and they do not even have sheets! So, clearly they are out of the question. The standard rooms are fine, (even if they are small and without a bathroom). Guillherme was writing me all day asking if I was going to come tonight. I hesitated to commit because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to repeat with him so soon. When I got there it was extremely slow - a handful of garotos and clients. Guillerherme found me quickly and we went to the steam room to drink and chill out. Even though he says he prefers to be activo, our chemistry is better with me on top. It was an enjoyable programa, but I felt like he was more enthusiastic last time. I was hungry, so I asked him to join me for dinner. While eating, he introduced me to his younger brother Bernardo. I was intrigued. Were they really brothers, or was this a marketing ploy? Certainly they looked like they could be related, even though Bernardo is taller and more beefy. Both have distinctly handsome faces, uncut cocks, and a shared love of Louis Vuitton messenger bags. Guillerhme goes off with another client, and I go to the empty jacuzzi. Bernardo soon joins me in the buff. His cock is thicker but shorter than his brothers, with a meatier head. He begins to massage me...we start talking in spanish...he tells me their mother died young and shows me a tattoo in her honor, says Guillerhme used to be a soccer player with a Brazilian team until a horrible leg injury ended his career, and that he is bisexual. I ask him if most of the garotos prefer women and he says no...at least half are gay or bi. He suggests a programa, but I’m slightly hesitant. I ask him if Guillerhme would mind. He says no, and in fact they have done a programa together with another client before. Bernardo is very cariñoso with me, and kisses sensually and passionately. I was really blown away. He is activo only and almost makes love rather than just fucks me. And he takes his time - and looks like he is truly enjoying himself. He came shortly after me...easily one of the best programas I have had in Brazil so far... I go to the gym to work out after, and Bernardo comes in and does a nude workout with me. Guillerherme finds me later, and seems a bit agitated. Not because I just fucked with his brother, but because I gave Bernardo 30 more reals than him. I explain Bernardo came and he didn’t, and I also spent 60 reals on food and drinks for Guillerhme. This seems to appease him somewhat, but he tells me next time he wants the same as Bernardo. He seems suspicious that I like Bernardo more than him now, and asks me who is better in bed. I tell him both are equally good lovers...

How commodious!

Well, they are British [grin] but a lot of families everywhere are not that open. I am just halfway through, had other things occupying me, and I get eye strain at times that is less bothersome off paper. But I, too, liked Part 1 and got ahead of myself. Also working my way across a few other really long novels. The father-son motifs do not mirror Elias-MrPerlman, that's for sure. Different strokes of inadequacies for different folks. If memory serves me from previous works, Hollinghurst's style is to let the reader fill in the gaps while he time-travels with each subsequent section weaving in some of the characters from the previous. To me, it is a balance of plot and interesting on-point interior and internal characterizations. He varies sentence structure at times from the norm which stalls me a little, thwarting my bad habit of skimming. The impression given is a great deal of thoughtful deliberation. The Dax homestead Cranley Gdns bordering Kensington and Earlscourt is just a few blocks east of where Villa Gianni house of boys now sits. My father was stationed in WW2 nearby the Fulham area where the art restoration shop is. It does help to be a homosexual insider reading the book, as some things are not described on-the-nose.

You do realize in your new family therapist role, sanddunes, it is considered bad form to fuck all the session participants.

No, he does not think he is in charge of your thoughts. Quite simply, we could not understand why you repeatedly posted incorrect information about the name and address of the facility that I recommended for visitors to Sao Paulo. Immediately after I posted about the facility, you posted a photo of a truck supposedly driving past the internet shop that I mentioned. However, the truck you showed was not driving past the correct location. In your post, you also gave an incorrect name of the internet shop that I mentioned in my post. The issue is now solved. Readers should disregard your input concerning the internet facility and rely on the latest post by SolaceSoul as the correct name and address for the facility. Please let this matter of the internet facility end at this point. Readers now have the correct name and address of the internet shop that I described. There is no need for further clarification or more confusion. Thank you.

Lucky, I think that this is just like social media in general. A response to every nugget in every feed may give the false impression close attention is being paid. It may, however, be cursory attention. One single nod may be attentive, genuine, and sufficient, and does not negate the quality of your post. That is the cake ... one person makes it whole. Beyond that is icing.

I particularly agree with the above portion of the post. Although the area described in the post is "rough" I enjoy being there on occasion. Most people would consider the area unsafe but I do not. I have never had a problem in that area and I have been there many times over the years. At the same time, I am usually cautious and seem to have a "sixth sense" for danger, but I never sensed or experienced any danger in this area. Every now and again, it is possible to find a "jewel" of a garoto in the area. I have met many. The specific place to likely find good looking and friendly garotos is in an internet shop located near the corner of Rua Aurora and Av Vieira de Carvalho only about one block from the park in centro (Praca de Republica). The entrance fee is a few reais, I don't recall but I think it is about one or two equivalent U.S. dollars. The shop really does rent computers by the hour. However, if you walk around the shop, you will not see any women using computers. Instead, you will find many handsome garotos sitting back at a computer with his trousers pulled down and masturbating. The garotos are hustlers. If you strike up a conversation with a garoto, there are small rooms that can be used for entertaining the garoto (hustler) or you can take the garoto to one of the dozens of hourly hotels in the area. So, if any reader gets tired of Rio or wants a break from Rio, Sao Paulo has Lagoa, many attractions and, of course, this little internet shop wherein, it is possible to find a fun garoto. One more thing, the internet shop is busiest during the day, like early afternoons and early evenings.

Which leads to the question- how did you like the novel as a whole? I reviewed it: There is an element of disappointment in my reaction to The Sparsholt Affair.In my mind, the author did not bite off enough. He seems to have held back on the story, especially n the Sparsholt affair itself. At times the novel is captivating, at times quite dull. There are small points where it is confusing. I liked the beginning, where David Sparsholt is admired at Oxford. The tale goes on less convincingly. It hardly seems right that the father would not talk to the son about personal matters. So much communication did not happen. The lesbians seemed forced into the story. Daughter Lucy added nothing. Evert Dax and his cronies were both intriguing and boring, just not at the same time! Finally, son Johnny is left to shoulder the story. We hear that he married, but that section of his life is not in the story. Could not father and son bond at Johnny's loss of his husband? Why didn't they? We are left to feel that the subject of the Sparsholt Affair ended up cold and bitter. Not satisfying to me, but the author seems okay with it.

If you are familiar with Brit Alan Hollinghurst's work and Booker Prizewinner status, you may know his latest novel TSA. He is a kind of unofficial Violet Quill member from across the pond. Semi-spoiler alert warning: ------ His version of a gay-for-pay long-game scene, more literary than pornographic, yet extremely erotic. Set in one of the historical timeframes and settings of the book. I really enjoyed it and I am going to try to revive it by finding just the right photo image(s) for me to fantasize and, well, you know ...

Looking forward to seeing this musical at the La Jolla Playhouse next weekend.The cast is impressive.

This was my first gay love affair in literature. I had to read it quietly and checked it out of a local library. It was magic for me as it helped me to see a future and a world outside of Alabama. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/armistead-maupins-tales-city-ellen-page-joins-laura-linney-olympia-dukakis-netflix-sequel-1105348

Hmmmm, so it was really a SEX date, and not about the eggs ? Hope you remembered to douche' ???

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitation_in_ancient_Rome Sanitation in ancient Rome From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sanitation in ancient Rome was well advanced compared to other ancient cities and was providing water supply and sanitation services to residents of Rome. Sewer systems The latrines are the best-preserved feature at Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall. The soldiers sat on wooden boards with holes, which covered one big trench. Water ran in a big ditch at the soldiers' feet. A system of eleven Roman aqueducts provided the inhabitants of Rome with water of varying quality, the best being reserved for potable supplies. Poorer-quality water was used in public baths and in latrines. Latrine systems have been found in many places, such as Housesteads, a Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall, in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and elsewhere that flushed waste away with a stream of water. It is commonly believed the Romans used sea sponges on a stick & dipped in vinegar after defecation, but the practice is only attested to once.[1] The Romans had a complex system of sewers covered by stones, much like modern sewers. Waste flushed from the latrines flowed through a central channel into the main sewage system and thence into a nearby river or stream. However, it was not uncommon for Romans to throw waste out of windows into the streets (at least according to Roman satirists). Despite this, Roman waste management is admired for its innovation. It is estimated that the first sewers of ancient Rome were built between 800 and 735 BC. Drainage systems evolved slowly, and began primarily as a means to drain marshes and storm runoff. The sewers were mainly for the removal of surface drainage and underground water.[2] The sewage system as a whole did not really take off until the arrival of the Cloaca Maxima, an open channel that was later covered, and one of the best-known sanitation artifacts of the ancient world. Most sources believe it was built during the reign of the three Etruscan kings in the sixth century BC. This "greatest sewer" of Rome was originally built to drain the low-lying land around the Forum. It is not known how effective the sewers were, especially in removing excrement.[3] From very early times the Romans, in imitation of the Etruscans, built underground channels to drain rainwater that might otherwise wash away precious topsoil, used ditches to drain swamps (such as the Pontine Marshes), and dug subterranean channels to drain marshy areas. Over time, the Romans expanded the network of sewers that ran through the city and linked most of them, including some drains, to the Cloaca Maxima, which emptied into the Tiber River. The Cloaca Maxima was built in the fourth century BC, and was largely reconstructed and enclosed under the authority of Agrippa as an aedile in 33 BC.[4] It still drains the Forum Romanum and surrounding hills. Strabo, a Greek author who lived from about 60 BC to AD 24, admired the ingenuity of the Romans in his Geographica, writing: The sewers, covered with a vault of tightly fitted stones, have room in some places for hay wagons to drive through them. And the quantity of water brought into the city by aqueducts is so great that rivers, as it were, flow through the city and the sewers; almost every house has water tanks, and service pipes, and plentiful streams of water...In short, the ancient Romans gave little thought to the beauty of Rome because they were occupied with other, greater and more necessary matters. A law was eventually passed to protect innocent bystanders from assault by wastes thrown into the street. The violator was forced to pay damages to whomever his waste hit, if that person sustained an injury. This law was enforced only in the daytime, it is presumed because one then lacked the excuse of darkness for injuring another by careless waste disposal. Around AD 100, direct connections of homes to sewers began, and the Romans completed most of the sewer system infrastructure. Sewers were laid throughout the city, serving public and some private latrines, and also served as dumping grounds for homes not directly connected to a sewer. It was mostly the wealthy whose homes were connected to the sewers, through outlets that ran under an extension of the latrine. Public latrines In general, poorer residents used pots that they were supposed to empty into the sewer, or visited public latrines. Public latrines date back to the 2nd century BC. Whether intentionally or not, they became places to socialise. Long bench-like seats with keyhole-shaped openings cut in rows offered little privacy. Some latrines were free, for others small charges were made.[5] According to Lord Amulree, the site where Julius Caesar was assassinated, the Hall of Curia in the Theatre of Pompey, was turned into a public latrine because of the dishonor it had witnessed. The sewer system, like a little stream or river, ran beneath it, carrying the waste away to the Cloaca Maxima. The Romans recycled public bath waste water by using it as part of the flow that flushed the latrines. Terra cotta piping was used in the plumbing that carried waste water from homes. The Romans were the first to seal pipes in concrete to resist the high water pressures developed in siphons and elsewhere. Beginning around the 5th century BC, aediles, among their other functions, supervised the sanitary systems. They were also responsible for the efficiency of the drainage and sewage systems, the cleansing of the streets, prevention of foul smells, and general oversight of baths. The Romans were not so big on privacy the stalls had no dividers. In the first century AD, the Roman sewage system was very efficient. In his Natural History, Pliny remarked that of all the things Romans had accomplished, the sewers were "the most noteworthy things of all". Aqueducts Remains of aqueducts Aqua Claudia and Anio Novus, integrated into the Aurelian Wall Main article: Roman aqueducts The aqueducts provided the large volumes of water that—after serving drinking, bathing, and other needs—flushed through the sewers. A system of eleven aqueducts supplied the city with water from as far away as the river Anio. Anio Novus and Aqua Claudia were two of the biggest systems. The distribution system was carefully designed so that all waste water drained into the Cloaca Maxima. The management and maintenance involved in keeping the aqueducts flowing is well described by Frontinus, a general appointed by the emperor Nerva as water commissioner toward the end of the first century AD. He described his work on the distribution system in De aquaeductu published at the end of the first century AD. When first appointed, he surveyed and mapped the entire system, and strove to investigate the many abuses of the water supply, such as the act of tapping into pipes illegally. He also systematized aqueduct maintenance with gangs of specially trained workmen. He also tried to separate the supply, so that the best-quality water went to drinking and cooking, while second-quality water flowed to the fountains, baths, and, finally, sewers. Pont du Gard in France The system in Rome was copied in all provincial towns and cities of the Roman Empire, and even down to villas that could afford the plumbing. Roman citizens came to expect high standards of hygiene, and the army was also well provided with latrines and bath houses, or thermae. Aqueducts were used everywhere in the empire not just to supply drinking water for private houses but to supply other needs such as irrigation, public fountains, and thermae. Indeed, many of the provincial aqueducts survive in working order to the present day, although modernized and updated. Of the eleven ancient aqueducts serving Rome, eight of them entered Rome close to each other on the Esquiline Hill.[6] Also, the first aqueduct was the Aqua Appia built in 312 BC by the censor Appius.[6] Other aqueducts of importance to Roman sanitation was the Aqua Marcia built between 144-140 BC, which provided large amounts of quality water to Rome.[7] One Aqueduct with some major importance to Rome was Traiana, which tapped from the clear springs of the northern and western slopes above lake Bracciano.[7] It is said that the “Romans fully appreciated the importance of plentiful and wholesome supply of water, for domestic purposes to health of the Community.[8] It was stated by Amulree that for 441 years after the building of Rome, it depended on water from the Tiber for drinking and other domestic purposes, but in 312 BC Appius Claudius Crassus provide Rome with water from the Springs of the Alban hills and brought to consumers by the means of Aqueducts.[8] The Amulree notes state that this practice is in line with the teachings of Hippocrates: that stagnant water should be refused, not the spring water from the hills or rain water.[8] Roman rubbish was often left to collect in alleys between buildings in the poor districts of the city. It sometimes became so thick that stepping stones were needed. "Unfortunately its functions did not include house-to-house garbage collection, and this led to indiscriminate refuse dumping, even to the heedless tossing of trash from windows." [9] As a consequence, the street level in the city rose, as new buildings were constructed on top of rubble and rubbish. Health impacts Although there were many sewers, public latrines, baths and other sanitation infrastructure, disease was still rampant. Most dwellings were not connected to street drains or sewers. Some apartment buildings (insulae) might have had a latrine and a fountain on the ground floor. This didn't stop the residents on the upper floors from dumping their waste onto the street. There was no street cleaning service in Rome. Thus, the neighborhoods were plagued with disease.[10] The baths are known to symbolise the "great hygiene of Rome." Although the baths may have made the Romans smell good, they were a cesspool of disease. Doctors commonly prescribed their patients a bath. Consequently, the diseased and healthy sometimes bathed together. The sick generally preferred to visit the baths during the afternoon or night to avoid the healthy, but the baths were not constantly being cleaned. This means the healthy who bathe the next day might catch the disease from the sick who bathed the previous day.[10] Latrines could be found in many places such as in baths, forts and the colosseum. The Romans wiped themselves after defecating with a sea sponge on a stick named tersorium.[11] This was shared by all of those using the latrine. To clean the sponge, they simply washed it in a bucket with water and salt or vinegar.[12] This became a breeding ground for bacteria, causing the spread of disease in the latrine.[10]

I saw this and thought it was so adorable. Gay Days anyone? https://hornet.com/stories/pride-mickey-ears-disney/

They insisted they had the same mother- of course I have no way of knowing for sure either way...I remember tomcal saying it was quite common to have brothers, cousins, uncles etc. working together at the same sauna. Regardless, I went with Bernardo because I liked him, not because he was brothers or half-brothers with Guillerherme.

OneFinger, the Donna Summer musical opened in New York last night, and I was curious as to how the professional critics reacted. The NY Post gave it one star, saying it is "not hot stuff." https://nypost.com/2018/04/23/looking-for-some-hot-stuff-dont-see-the-new-donna-summer-musical/ The NY Daily News didn't like it either. They say "it drops the disco ball." http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/theater-arts/summer-review-donna-summer-biomusical-drops-disco-ball-article-1.3949934 The NY Times says that "Hot stuff turns cold." It's "the cockroach of Broadway," the Times says. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/23/theater/review-summer-the-donna-summer-musical-broadway.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Ftheater&action=click&contentCollection=theater&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=sectionfront So what are we to make of the ad for the show that quotes the Hollywood Reporter calling it "pure bliss." I read that review, which was for the La Jolla production, and the Reporter didn't like it either. The "pure bliss" line was for one scene in the show, not the entire show. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/summer-donna-summer-musical-theater-1060604 Of the new show in New York, the Reporter says " this tacky little show, a feebly dramatized Wikipedia page with lackluster covers, which was rushed to Broadway following a fall tryout at La Jolla Playhouse that received mostly tepid reviews. And yet it shows no sign of improvements having been attempted. Heaven knows it's not the way it should be. " The pure bliss quote is renamed " jolt of bliss" to make sure we don't think it applies to the entire show! https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/summer-donna-summer-musical-theater-review-1105049 So, we figured that the show needed work before it hit New York. It didn't get any. Donna Summer is as shortchanged in this show as her gay fans are. "The cockroach of Broadway>" I doubt they will put that in the ad!

At the clubs in Brazil, I met many guys who introduce their brothers and sisters to me. At first I thought they were really biological brothers and sisters. But some are black mix and their brother/sisters are white, that's when I started wondering perhaps they have same father but different mothers (or the other way around). I now realized Brazilians always call their good friend as brothers and sisters.

Fernando (hat) and Lip who I think has inked his entire back since he caught my eye a while back. Out of dozens of regulars, they are also my 2 favourites! Excellent taste, you. Each has hundreds of images in Lagoa's FB photo cache. They are constantly on the gogo with gogo assignments. Fernando keeps a barebones FB page, last name Miguel.

@Lucky, the above observation is laser-like on point. You, over the years here, have expressed deep dissatisfaction when any one of your posts did not elicit direct responsive posts from other members. That is simply not how social media works. Very many of us have appreciated very many of your posts, without feeling a need to post in reply. That is just how this medium works.

Every one chill, it is all within the same hundred yards anyway, if we really want dick, we’ll find that internet café. Jeez.

And you did nothing to cause the snapping, right?

For the love of God, can you for once just chill? It is NOT the Fenix Lan House Internet cafe on Av. Vieira de Carvalho. It is the Internet cafe right next to Eros, the adult video store around the corner on Rua Aurora. If you notice from the photos that I painstakingly posted, there is an Internet cafe next to Eros. The Google Map pinpoint suggests that there is an Internet cafe ACROSS Rua Aurora called Aurora Net Lan House, but in reality, it is NOT across the street! It is next door, just as I said. If you notice, in Google Maps, the numbers on the street address to both Eros and Aurora Net are one and the same: 772 — except one (Eros) says it is on Aurora, and the other (Aurora Net) says it is on Vieira de Carvalho. 772 Av. Doutor Vieira de Carvalho does not exist. This avenue runs from 10 at the end of Praça do República to 109, which is up the block across from Largo do Arouche Park — about 2 city blocks away. Clearly, this is an error! A Google Maps error. They will investigate and correct it eventually if someone bothers to report it. Eros the adult video store and Aurora Net Lan House the Internet cafe are probably sister businesses owned by the same proprietor — which explains why there is both adult video peep shows, Internet and sex work going on at the same address.

I am told that no social formalities were observed, so it is interesting to note this new post over there from Oliver as he sets the dates for the next event: Hi CS - we would welcome you to the events and you may certainly bring a guest, as long as you have informed me beforehand. In addition to needing to know how many people for the restaurants, and for my chef de cuisine, Epigonos, I must know who will be in my home, as I'm sure you understand. This year I was taken aback by having some people I didn't know about show up at my home on Sunday afternoon. Someone had apparently give them an invitation without clearing it with me. There were a couple who attended that I had been asked about in a polite manner prior to the gathering and I was happy to meet them. Back to Lucky writing: Years ago an escort wanted to bring a guest who did not post. We said that the party is a private on for the members of the message board, so the guy registered and posted. It isn't required any more that the guest be a poster. With all the new rules introduced at the other site this week, perhaps the need to follow rules will rub off on the guy who let these three intruders attend. I am told that one of the intruders returned to Oliver's house on Monday morning and knocked on Oliver's bedroom door- he and his date were still in bed!- so he could arrange a date with Oliver's date. The nerve of doing something so intrusive is astounding.

Damn lat, you have one fucking job to do...the rules are the rules. Like I said, just do it !

So guess who just got a promotion and a new pair of kneepads!

OneFInger, you are welcome!

Like everything else presented on these websites, its being dissected and overthought... Just SUCK the fucking cock !

"Orally servicing well-built, muscular guys with thick bananas was considered a sign of bravery if you were a soldier in ancient Rome. And the larger the man’s sausage, the manlier you were viewed." I make a motion to bring back THIS tradition in America... It would be the thing that totally makes America GREAT again ! (except, can we please have a SPIT bucket ?) inRe

So this afternoon I went to Lagoa again and got there around 6pm. Surprisingly, it wasn’t busy at all, although things started picking up around 7pm. I spotted an Arab-looking hairy, muscular body-builder type that I had spoken with yesterday named Antonio. Hyper-masculine guys aren’t usually my type, but he was actually charming, and proved he could kiss beforehand, so I decided to give him a shot. He was a total activo, and was extremely dominant in bed. He stayed hard the whole time and definitely knows how to fuck. He was not warm and cariñoso, but at least he did kiss. While he was fucking me doggy style he was putting his tongue in my ear, gently nibbling my neck, and whispering presumably the only words he knows in English...”do you like when daddy fucks you?” After going to the gym for a while, I decided to relax in the jacuzzi (hopefully it has been cleaned since yesterday). While there I spotted a garoto with a slim but toned build and a very handsome face. He was stroking his cock when he caught me staring at him. He came over to introduce himself, a Paulista named Guillherme. I could tell immediately that he was exactly what I was looking for. He was vers, said he sucked, and was very sweet, affectionate and liked to cuddle. As soon as we got to the cabin he started enthusiastically giving great head, which was amazing since Antonio ignored my cock the entire programa. 69ing ensued, and Guillherme offered to ride me, which I obviously couldn’t turn down. He was very tight, and after doing various positions I came inside him (with a condom). He cuddled with me afterwards, which was sweet, and I offered to buy him dinner while we watched the show. The strippers at Lagoa are gorgeous in my opinon. Two really stand out the most, I will try to find pics of them somewhere. My only complaint is when they come out hard at the end, they quickly rush off the stage to have audience members put their underwear on. Would be nice if they would dance to an entire song nude. Has anyone experienced the garotos at Lagoa being snobby about which rooms you take them to? They have 4 selections, ranging from cabin (18 real), to room (25 real) to suite (45 real). One garoto started pitching a fit when I told him I was getting a cabin. He told me he only works in suites. After this somewhat shocking display I immediately told him it wasn’t going to work out and cancelled the programa. Also fyi, make sure to tell them you dont need lube or condoms, they charge excessively for them (I think 16 reals). My total bill was around 165 reals for entrance, drinks, food and 2 rooms for 25 reals each.

I’d hope that your sauna presence is far more tolerable than your pretentious, overcompensating one here. After all, it would be really difficult for you to talk so much with a big, hard uncut dick down your throat.

I understand - thanks

I saw the show last night. The house was sold out and enthusiastic. It's easy to see why One Finger liked the show so much. The three Donnas have spectacular voices. Obviously the music is good, or you wouldn't have gone. The set is colorful. So far, so good, eh? But, as One Finger points out, the backup dancers are all female, often dressed as males, but they didn't fool me. Since gays were virtually ignored in this show, gay guys who attend, hoping to see a version of their younger selves on stage dancing to Donna Summer's songs, too bad for you. No sweaty shirtless guys absorbed in Last Dance or MacArthur Park. Just girls. There are two references to gays in the show. One is where Donna found that she had something in common with a male friend in that they both had boy friends. Later, when she is talking about being the Queen of Disco, a character on stage says something to the effect of "it's nice being a queen." He does that in a very effeminate manner. The biggest reference to gays is when the Donna character acknowledges that there were three types of men in her life, the latter being her gay audience. She then mentions her Adam & Steve comment and apologizes for it, saying that she never judges anyone. Oh. Well, how about acknowledging that without the gay support for her music she would probably never have reached the level of stardom she did. Using female dancers in the show cuts out the gay men entirely, so we are still left to wonder how much she appreciated the support she received. As a whole, I don't see this show going to Broadway. A huge rewrite would be needed as some scenes are quite flat and unnecessary. The public is pretty unfamiliar with her life story. I didn't know she was married three times and had three kids. She was beaten a lot. She complains about success a lot. She sued Casablanca for bankrupting her, and then hired David Geffen, who is not identified as gay. Without the support of the gay community, even a re-worked version of this show would find trouble on Broadway, which is run by gay men and Jewish men. The show features abundantly her faith in Jesus, and, as said, virtually ignores gays. I just don't see that going over well in New York. All of which left me to enjoy the music and the singing. And I enjoyed that a lot. MacArthur Park was wonderfully done, even without watching sweaty shirtless hunks dancing to it. Note: Summer denied making any anti-gay remarks. She was lying, of course, as the musical clearly acknowledges the Adam & Steve comment: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/12/donna-summer-anti-gay-remarks-apology-letter_n_1591615.html One man's view of Donna Summer: http://marksking.com/my-fabulous-disease/enduring-legacy-donna-summer-gay-men/
