" You don't just drop a friendship because your life becomes that of a couple or a parent. " It happens, and it sucks. There's at least one other poster on this thread who concurs. But you're fortunate.
I don't know why Sondheim and the others fought against productions making Bobby gay. It would, yes, work better with surrounding couples both gay and straight. To a lesbian couple, a gay guy isn't usually a threat. To some gay couples, a single gay guy might men possibly play around if they are open and he is up for it (and somehow acknowledges to at least them that he is gay, even if otherwise to other couples he is closeted). Or he just might be a great friend, and they'd be interested in hearing about his social and/or sex life. Among other kinds of permutations, it would just make a more plausible show. |
