Belated reply, sorry! Yeah they were amazing. A Soho tailor on the eve of decriminalisation saying gay men from now on wouldn't know what they were missing; a guy preparing his wedding speech, talking about how now he got the fairytale (but missed being an outlaw) even if his three bears were different, haha. A guy talked about seeing Oscar Wilde at a train station as a child and feeling seen, and the trans guy talked about doing sex work and it ended with his girlfriend coming back <333 Lots of very funny or bittersweet moments, and it was fantastic (and very satisfying, because it was at the Old Vic, a prestigious London theatre) how it was so clearly written by and for queer people - so lots of great in-jokes, and the ability to talk about things with more nuance and ambiguity than you generally get when things have to be accessible to cishet people.
