To Thine Own Self Be Drew

Dave Kopay did it in the real world and now Drew Boyd is going to do it in fictional Pittsburgh. What makes Drew Boyd’s story on Queer As Folk relevant is that he didn’t consider himself gay because his sexual activity didn’t involve affection. When he admits to Emmett that he wanted to kiss him and that he had feelings for him, he, therefore, admits that he is gay. Coming attractions indicate that Drew will come out on television news. Would that football players livin’ on the down low in the real world follow suit. Matt Battaglia garnered some positive attention on the pages of our forum last year for obvious reasons when the character he plays, Drew Boyd, took up with Emmett. Happy days for the viewer that Drew has returned to deal with his feelings: he returned to Emmett after being blackmailed and deciding not to give in to the extortion. Emmett exhorts him to be honest with himself. Tune in next week. Same time. Same station. It is obvious for the most part where this is going. Thank you for going there.
