Pitstop


I never share full films here. The opportunity seldom arises, but this little gem of a gay film , was something I saw in Theatre Clwyd perhaps ten years ago now, and it’s messages of hope still stays with me to this day. 
It’s called Pitstop by Yen Tan
It’s PRIDE month this month and Bwthyn Y Llan still waves it’s rainbow heart from the window and the Queen’s Head from my spare bedroom. 
I’m very proud to be one of the few gays here in the village

  1. Not the only gay in the village I would guess. But perhaps the only openly gay in the village.

  2. I remember watching that film about five years ago on some obscure channel. I stumbled upon the film one evening and decided to watch it. I still remember it. Happy Pride from the other side of the Atlantic!

  8. I don't have time to watch it right now but will come back to it when I have time. I watched "Red, White and Royal Blue" a few weeks ago and loved the movie. I'm a sucker for a good love story, even if it's cheesy.

      Yes, I can believe that - that you have contacted him so much, put you down as an obsessive stalker from the off.
      Perhaps you don't realise but John is an adult who can speak up for himself, which he does, he certainly doesn't need you to stick your oar in.

    I'm very proud to be heterosexual in my village.
    We should all be proud of whatever we are.
    When is it heterosexual day?

    1. Were you ever bullied, beaten or berated for being heterosexual? Did you have to hide who you were? Even in 2024 this happens. So no, you won't have a parade because you don't have to show those awful people you are proud to be who you are. You know you're an ass don't you? Why do you even read this blog if that's how you feel?

      Delete
    2. Oh and I find it ironically that you are hiding here, not even using your name. Because you know how horrible that statement was. You must be ashamed of your self or you would be proud to give your name.

    8. The trolls won’t reply on this one linda
      The argument Of why should there not be a heterosexual day/ Pride
      Will always surface by straight people who have no emotional intelligence and no abilities at lateral. thinking. They also lack in self awareness and empathy

    9. Is that what they're teaching you on your counselling course? My goodness and you're paying money for that.

  25. I'm constantly baffled as to why your blog draws bitter, insecure people who make nasty comments. Guess she has nothing better to do. I don't want to say 'Happy Pride month', because I wish the LGBTQ folks happiness, peace and acceptance 365 days of the year.

    What I don't understand is why these sad insecure people want to show how sad, insecure and mean spirited they are by making comments that show just how sad insecure and mean spirited they are....by somehow thinking what they write is clever and superior. When it is exactly opposite.

I love all comments Except abusive ones from arseholes
