Gaydar film
In the early days of cinema, there was plenty of gender non-conforming subtext in movies, but very few overtly LGBTQ characters. That has slowly changed, but the results are often frustrating.
There is something undeniably special about watching a movie that somehow reflects your experience or your aspirations – to see characters embarking on a journey that possibly mirrors some aspect of your own life, or to view a love story that you can emotionally connect with.
But seeing gay men and gay stories presented on screen creates some challenges for both the filmmaker and the audience. Big budget films need to appeal to as many people as doable. In trying to appeal to a wider audience, films can lose their queer authenticity, or just become less interesting or relevant to the queer experience.

For Throw Support Thursdays we shift back time to and this delightfully funny award-winning short film Gaydar which will appeal to every gay man who has ever secretly lusted after a hunky man who may not be as straight as he seems. Or is that just wishful thinking?
Randy (Terry Ray) has a gigantic crush on handsome co-worker Jack (Days of Our Lives star Bryan Dattilo) and Randy is not alone. Everyone at the office seems to be infatuated with Jack, especially Randy&#;s gal pal Frankalina (Jennifer Echols), but no one can quite figure out if Jack is vertical or gay. At an impromptu yard sale by a scorned lover (Jim J. Bullock) Randy discovers a GAYDAR gun &#; which could change everything.
If that is not enough to tempt you to observe then we should tell you that the legendary lgbtq+ actor Charles Nelson Reilly co-stars as Uncle Vincent too. Written and directed by Larry LaFond (and yes, that is his true name)
