He went to NORRISTOWN and expected to find a TRUMP SUPPORTER. Bwahahahahaha!
Look, I did my internship at sixteen in Norristown. We called the zoo there "Grandad's Zoo" because it was the one Grand dad took us to often when he was alive (as opposed to the vastly bigger Philadelphia Zoo were Mom or school would take us). I had friends from Noristown who I used to drive home. My sister and her husband live there. This is not some sideways mock of Norristown. I'm just saying, ask any local where in Philadelphia and environs, you were likely to find the trump voters, not only would Norristown not be on the list, it would be on the short list of places one would assume Trump would lose in a landslide. Like, all they had to do was ask a local.

Mickey's story is not a pretty one. He's not a model gay or bisexual character. His story is an incredibly important one, because boys in homes like that and neighborhoods like that need to see themselves in media. Boys like that need to see that they aren't alone. Yes, there are white gay men on TV all the time, but nearly all of them present more educated, higher class, cleaner, more together. Mickey's struggle with himself, with his culture, with his father? That's a story that needs to be seen and understood, because boys like Mickey die. A lot. And they only way it gets better is if they can see that there are options like the ones Ian represents, and if their fathers and neighbors get used to the idea and stop killing them or driving them into the streets or to suicide either slow or fast.

The second commentator must be a person of colour whether or not the first commentator is. 4. Subtitle musical performances not in English.
