How I Spent My Summer Vacation
Submitted by WaveyDavey on Thu, 09/01/2016 - 5:48pmIt was June 16th, 2016. I was getting antsy because my long overdue two week vacation was starting in two days. It was also the 3rd Thursday of the month when our monthly pest control inspection takes place. The Pest Control Operator (PCO) would be arriving in about two hours. I always get so embarrassed about my lax dusting habits that once a month I used the fact that a stranger will be coming into my apartment to motivate me to dust. It's something I learned from Grandma.

Casting male actors as transwomen
Submitted by Robyn on Thu, 09/01/2016 - 2:28pmWhat could be wrong with that?
It's an old story by now. Creative Hollywood types decide they need to make a production about transgender issues, so they look around for a cisgender actor to play a transgender character: Eddie Redmayne in The Danish Girl, Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers Club, Jeffrey Tambor in Transparent, and now Matt Bomer in the Mark Ruffalo production Anything.
Anything was written and directed by first-time filmmaker Timothy McNeil. Per Variety, the film co-stars John Carroll Lynch as a man “suicidal over the death of his wife [who] moves from Mississippi to Los Angeles, where he can be under the watchful eye of his protective sister, played by Maura Tierney. He then begins an intense friendship with Bomer’s character, a transgendered sex worker. The unlikely new couple must reconcile their vastly different backgrounds as they fill the void in each other’s lives.”
I’m very happy to be part of this daring project. Love is at the essence of great storytelling and transcends all discrimination and politicization.
--Bomer
A Twitter storm erupted about the casting of Bomer.
