One of the things I found so refreshing about Heartstopper was that, seemingly, the actors individualities, more or less, matched the characters they portrayed. For my entire life (I'm 60) it has only been "brave" straight actors playing gay roles. It gave Heartstopper an authenticity that we've never seen before.

Like the US, UK and other 1st world countries, there are places in SLU where being gay MAY get you in serious trouble (Southern areas) BUT Just like those 1st world countries, there are places in SLU where you can most definitely be out and proud. We have our very own Pride March and week where we walk PROUDLY on the main streets and of course there will be homophobes but we aren't arrested or attacked physically. The sodomy laws have been here since the British/French brought them to the island when they ruled! They didn't last (because we're now an independent island) so there is hope.❤💖

You need timestamps. This isn't 2010

WHAT?!? It's not as Sweet as St. Lucia! In St. lucia?!?

What he said about fathers hit me like a brick. I know my father loved me but he didn’t know how to handle my sexuality. He just wasn’t equipped. And now of course I never trust men. It’s something I cannot overcome.

There have been 4 versions of A Star is Born. Lady Gaga in 2018, Barbra Streisand in 1976, Judy Garland in 1954, and Janet Gaynor 1937. I think people tend to forget the original because it wasn't a musical.

That was the best episode I absolutely loved it ❤️ 💜 ♥️

Jon take a hint from this podcast…the less clothes the better. Show off that chest hair! 😊

Backs to a wall lads. pfoof present.

One of the unreleased yet since then! Great! Thank you!❤🧡💛💚💙💜👏🏻

Interesting conversation, I have to admit I don't know any of the two men but certainly enjoyed the content, and yes the most attractive part of a man's body for me is his arse, and yes I know it's shallow

Very informative. Familiar with and use breath work, however; really enjoyed Paddy's simple yet concise explanations on the forms of breath work and when to use them. Thank you both.

Daniel Craig has played a gay character in 1998 in Love is the Devil!

I’m gay and I have never watched Bridgerton.

Tom Cruise was in Interview With A Vampire and was in an unconventional relationship with Brad Pitt.

What about a Trans character being played by a straight woman when there are tons of trans actors who could play the character but are not given any opportunities for work?

I hope that he is not doing a Sam Smith saying that he was the first at the Oscars.

It's been 36 years since I came out to my parents, and they have both died in the last couple of years. I had a wonderful relationship with my dad in the last decade of his life, but since he died, it's been important to remember how hard it was to come out to him and how much he failed to support me at that time. I know he was doing the best he could, but his reaction hurt me, and it's important for me to own that and remember how it affected me for many years, even as I remember how lucky we were to find our way back to love later.

Guy in the pink vest is so hot

Darren is awesome ❤

Awesome!! That's amazing💪🏻👏🏻🌈🥳

Thank Tom Selleck (Magnum PI) and the Marlborough man for gay guys and moustaches

Love watching Toby and Mikey on youtube. So refreshing listening to this young man's honesty. I spplaud you ❤ xx

This made me cry in a good way. Thanks to everybody for making this video.

This is a wonderful episode. I hope you will give more people a change to RE-come-out as they would have liked to in the first place. What a terrific idea. Thank you for posting. DA

We Gay men, united are stronger 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🧿🧿🧿✝️✝️✝️🌠🌠🌠

I am not familiar with Sam Morris's work. Nor is he my type, even though he is good looking! So I kind of stumbled into this video, initially being triggered. I have a love-hate relationship with adult content creators. Because just like those grindr hookups, they also scratch that itch without ever feeding it. I do struggle with shame, body image issues and it is unthinkable for me to project myself out there like that. It must be mind numbing. But Sam also explained a lot of things beautifully well, especially after the 35 min mark where he gets into the psychology of us queers. I have to say, thjat I agreew that everybody in our society is homophobic, but only within the context of our culture. Before christianity, queers where revered and celebrated. I do wonder how fathers in a different culture would emotionally bond, even celebrate having a queer son.

Gay men will always be unhappy. They want a conventional relationship but are too chickensh*t to actually commit to it. Open relationships are used as an excuse for freedom when they really just represent an unfulfilled partner and laziness. There is nothing complex about loving another human being. Gays just tend to love themselves more and are always trying to find better. they equate love with sex so the cause is lost immediately. Not to mention anything over 40 is considered ancient and undateable unless it's a financial arrangement. Love is just simply not taken seriously, it's treated more like an accessory. Stop me when you find the lie.

That's so True, I've been doing this for so long, I'm 46 spiritual being but lonely

So proud of you ❤love you x

Thanks for having me Jon, enjoyed the chat 🙂

What a smart guy! And a Little Monster :)

Trying to debate 1+1=2 , james says lets try debate that!!, definitely not an idiot. This man is part of the reason the insanity is still here.

I can't wait until I go all silver. Silver fox... but I get that some people feel that less grey makes them look younger (but sorry, I don't believe that but it's OK to feel that). You do you.

Nice video! Really enjoyed it! Thank you

Really wonderful conversation. Darren is such a kind man, he’s so relatable (totally opposite to my preconceptions of him shamefully) and genuinely lovely. Thanks for this 😊

Darren and Jon. Absolutely FANTASTIC! Bloody brilliant. So relatable.... And yes I cried at the Rascal Jack Russell turning point. And I am not a dog/pet person. So much down to earth common sense " advice". Hopefully this podcast will go orbital in terms of watches. We have all something to gain from the experiences and indeed wisdom of Darren. Another must listen again and again interview. Thank You Both so much ❤. Jon. The card questions a good edition. However, You as an interviewer are second to none....you could ask anyone anything and you would get an honest answer! Absolute genius! 💯👌👍

Brilliance! This discussion is inspiring. Thank you for sharing with us. My experience is also that many of us gay men do not understand who we are [underneath our masks and callouses] and what we need [basic human needs]. We relegate ourselves to anonymous and compulsive sex, because we do not understand that we have instinctual and nonnegotiable human needs for emotional intimacy and vulnerability. While physical intimacy, like drug use, can bring pleasure, it also distracts us from our craving for the deeply satisfying feeling of emotional trust, intimacy, and vulnerability. Our layers of complex trauma [due to systemic homophobia] and the dearth of models of healthy homosexual male relationships, leave many of us desperate to connect to others, platonically and romantically, and clueless as to how. Active participation in therapy continues to be some of my best life choices. Best to all on the journey to understanding and loving ourselves.

48:44 I'm really surprised he was bullied, given he isn't effeminate and played good football. He seems to be the ideal who other boys in school would want to follow. Either way school bullying is so damaging (as I remember). Lovely guy.

Well I wish he wouldn’t

No. His is NOT the first erect penis on British TV. In that exact same documentary he is in, there is an erection earlier in the programme. Do not like him.

F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! Brilliant interview of one of my favorite all time singers. Thanks and hugs

Dies that mean that homosexuality is created from psychological trauma from childhood?

I am no prude, but I understand why reserving the mask of the sexual self to intimate moments is considered decent and a decisive factor when choosing a friend or a partner. It’s been like this for millennia. It’s a human nature, not a construct of some cultural trend that will fade away from the social fabric anytime soon. Therefore making a decision to expose that mask publicly (and monetise on it) will always be considered indecent. Of course the most intimate self that you expose becomes the most fluorescent part of you that outshines all the other traits of your character. It becomes the most interesting thing about you even though pornography has been normalised nowadays. Sam’s unawareness that people would not treat him decently while he’s making money being indecent only shows how immature he is (not wanting to call him silly or stupid). This is in response to the statement made at 4:18 Why would you even allow yourself to be this delusional? It only shows a lack of common sense and explains his victimhood. In the remaining 40mins of this interview (yes, couldn’t be asked to finish it) I’ve not heard a single interesting or surprising thing from Sam. I also don’t buy into this Erotica vs Porn sale technique to elevate his craft to something it doesn’t have to be elevated to. If I’ll call a commercial porn an art, how would you even approach building your case against that view. A less profound work was called art. His mannerisms of using “like” as a coma in a sentence is really suiting as well. I’m not buying into this intellectual side of him, I think it’s a self-preservation tactic and I wish him ALL the best, but I’m worrying a bit that his story is not going to end well.

Very interessting! Really enjoyed it! Thank you as always!

My favorite part of the interview is the 08:50 mark. “..I’ve seen some of Shame…”. Lol

Jon and Sam. As always, Thank You Both. Okay....OMG! Eh? Interesting, intriguing and well " eye opening"! Don't get me wrong being older and lived through so many changes in ( quote) " gay life" I am well aware of this how can I put it?... Lifestyle? Not my bag yet when Sam talks so openly and with such honesty and so directly it really hits. Fascinating, different and difficult. Yes this is a " raw" one for sure. Another listen is required for sure. Thank you again. ( Jon: Australia!? Wow! Hope it goes well). Stay safe.

''These GAYS!! They are trying to MURDER me!!"

Fascinating how long it took for someone at the Oscars to do what Mr. Canning did. The first time it happened at the Tony awards (“And I’d like to thank my lover…”) was for “Torch Song Trilogy” in like 1982.

No tank tops after the age of 26 , please.
