He’s actually REALLY cool with gay things (with a LOT of persuasion, I actually got him to come with me to a gay pride parade like 2 years later. He hugged me back & said it’s all good.Īnd ever since then, it’s been better than good. Who else knew, when did *I* know, etc.Īnyway, after a little bit, he got up to leave & then I went over to him & hugged him for a long time. But then he sat down at my desk & we talked for a little bit, about the usual stuff. But maybe like 10 minutes later, he came in, asked me again if I was gay & I said yeah, I am (I was SOOOO uncomfortable when I said it) & all he said was oh. I was breathing a little hard there & I didn’t want to be there anymore so I just got up & went to my room to be there for a little bit.
SHORT GAY MOVIES TUMBLR TV
I remember looking right at the tv & feeling really numb, but I didn’t answer him. It was really awkward at that point & I just KNEW that it was going to lead somewhere Me: i dont like kevin like that (i must have said it too seriously) kevin was, and still is, my best friend). Him: fine, then go with kevin for all i care (he laughed when he said it. Him: why not? you’re, ya know…handsome (i remember being flattered by that) haha. Him: you don’t know who you’re taking? or you’re not going? We were watching tv one night in the living room & during a commercial, he asked me if I knew who I was taking to my upcoming school dance. I like sports, so I’m not very “girly.” But anyway, my brother was the first person I ever told. Starting with him & ever since, nobody has ever guessed me to be gay I guess. Did she succeed? Was her haircut effective? After what she went through, there’s nothing to do but root for her.When I was 15, I came out to my older brother (who was 18 at the time). Yeah, I also feel curious about what happened that night. The director creates a world, and it’s present enough to make us enjoy Krista as a person in the first day of the rest of her life. But Harris accomplishes more than just a short film. It’s not easy to be natural when channeling comedy or performing in a position where you must justify as a screenwriter having mayo and candy licked off your hair. It’s that coming out is a natural step that will take place whether her hair is good or not. It’s not that Krista ends up being comfortable or not with her result. The confidence resulting after going through that has to help her somehow. Trust me when I say this particular hairdresser takes his act to levels you can’t even imagine. It’s more than humane when Krista reacts at the weirdness beyond weirdness. It goes beyond the habits and rules of queer culture. It goes beyond the personality of comedians.
This bombastic comedy runs for less than 10 minutes and is long enough to give viewers a taste of Fatka’s attitude and material. Will Krista get the haircut she seeks? Will she be able to change her act?īear with me, and bear with Gay Haircut. Needless to say, the hair cutting methods aren’t traditional.
Krista decides to get a gay haircut, so that she feels more comfortable in her change.Ī friend recommends a beauty salon and Krista decides to give it a shot. Harris directs, and Fatka stars in Gay Haircut as Krista, a bisexual comedian who has decided to make her stand-up act a channel to come out as queer. But first impressions are important, and Gay Haircut is a minimal blast that could change your day from grim to hilarious. And maybe I’m just wrong about how I perceived this small gem of a comedy. Perhaps, existentialism doesn’t have a place here. Fatka is the star in a minuscule fable that isn’t about anything in particular but is decidedly poignant for sharing the importance of a moment: being your true self after meeting an ideal position, the one you couldn’t even imagine. Comedy works in mysterious ways when it makes you laugh, but also when it stays with you. It’s risky to even think it meets a broader message for the community it takes place in. Gay Haircut doesn’t have to fulfill something in a bigger agenda. But sometimes films aren’t aimed at something larger. It’s sleazy, bombastic and absurd enough to make yourself wonder where it’s all going. I can’t imagine how Krista Fatka and Jude Harris got the idea to make a short film like Gay Haircut. All stories are worth telling, even if they’re not as serious as you expect them to be.
