By now you’re thinking, “excuse me?” And you’re also thinking, “What does this have to do with sad isolated lesbians?” It’s more like sad, isolated queer people, from Joe and his multiple husbands to his trans employee, Saff, who suffered an enormous tragedy while working on the animal farm (I won’t spoil). Directed by Ryan Murphy and written by Larry Kramer, based on his play of the same name, The Normal Heart follows gay men in New York City during the 80’s HIV-AIDS crisis. Joe Exotic, now a convicted felon, once ran an exotic animal park, before launching a blood feud with his arch nemesis-slash-animal rights “activist” Carole Baskin, which led to him being gay/doing crimes. Even though “show about Oklahoma man-turned exotic cat wrangler-turned presidential candidate-turned prison lifer” sounds extremely like straight culture, the man in question, the Tiger King, is a gay man. I’m not thrilled about recommending this Netflix true crime docu-series, which doesn’t not make light of animal abuse, but hear me out. This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.
