The Old Gays: Queer icons. Viral sensations. Palm Springs royalty. And totally unfiltered! Robert Reeves, Jessay Martin, Bill Lyons, and Michael “Mick” Peterson reflect on the many lives they’ve lived and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. With over 300 combined years of experience, these four bear it all: illegal love, aging with grace, bad dates, great sex, heartbreak, chosen family, and everything in between. They’ve lived it all, and they’re still standing…and dancing! Don’t say we didn’t warn you. New episodes every other week.
In Part 2 of this special “Queer on Screen” series, we’ll continue right where we left off…diving into queer representation in film and TV from the 1980’s to now, the chapter when things finally changed.
From the impact of The Celluloid Closet and the AIDS crisis, to breakthrough media like The Birdcage, Will & Grace, and Brokeback Mountain, we’ll share the moments that made us feel seen, what missed the mark, and why some modern portrayals still don’t quite get it right.
Look…Heated Rivalry is by no means the first hot gay love story, and it won’t be the last either.
Join us as grief and recognition lead to progress and possibility, as we reflect on how far we’ve come, and how much further there is still to go.
