Train gay

REVIEW: The Gay Drill , Yellow Mug Theatre, EdFringe 2022 ★★★☆☆

The Gay Train takes a thoroughly excellent go at diving headfirst into the way that Transitioned lives are presented in the media and the devastating consequences. In a world of P*ers M*rgan purposefully silencing the Trans Rights movement and framing it as well debate, even when it evidently is not, this gentle of theatre is urgent and significant. In fact, the aforementioned gutless inaccurate demagogue is the target in journalist Andrew Lake’s crosshairs, as we observe non-binary activist Lin face up against a TV host more interesting in clickbait than coherence.

Lin’s story is tragically prevalent in population – a Transsexual person physically attacked for expressing themselves. In the stir of rising transphobia in Britain, Lin takes to the screen to plead their case and ends up eventually making a mockery of the whole situation. This plotline is threaded in between vignettes where we see Lin try and triumph over politicians for their campaign, struggled and suppressed by an indifferent political system. There are also scenes in which Lin chats with their mother, Dawn, and the pair try to unwrap each other’s misconceptions about gender through th

Gay on a Train

I’m straight. So, when a gay guy on the coach asked me out on a dine , why the hell did I declare yes? And why am I elated about seeing him again?

Okay, let’s begin again....

I thought I was straight for all of my 26 years. I dated women. I slept with women. And yeah, occasionally I’d wondered what it would be like to experiment with a guy. We’ve all done it, right? A couple of times, at least? Only, I never did more than wonder.

But after one conversation with him...

I still don’t know why I said yes. It wasn’t as if he was flirting with me - well, not much. All we did was chat. And then, he asked me out.

Okay, so it would be a modern experience. I can roll with that. But what if he wants to sleep with me? How about that?

I’m nervous. I’m bewildered. And as for the whole "I’m straight" thing?

Yeah. I’m rethinking that. Large time.

And I can’t wait for Saturday till I notice him again.

In Peterborough was where I was raised
And in my bedroom was where I spent most of my days
On a ZX Spectrum, as I've previously mentioned
So I did my 'A' Levels and I moved to Leicester
Well, I met a few people, I made a few friends
And this is the story about one of them
So come with me now on a journey through time
To when he moved to London, near the Northern Line

I was going down to Balham
When somebody said Let's move to Clapham
And see the Gay Celebration Festival there
I got on the underground
Didn't really understand
The scene I'd see before me down there

And there were lesbians to the left of me
A gay choir to the right
And two terrified tourists quivering with fright
On the Gay Train
On the Gay Train, in 1994

The carriage guard looked very frightened
He wasn't being quite as enlightened
As I was trying to be
With Liberalism writ on my face
Looking very hetero, just in case
But no-one even tried to get off with me

And there were lesbians to the left of me
A gay cho

“There’s something about a train that’s magic.”

This was the first line from a jingle that encouraged travelers to ride the rails on Amtrak. Since 1971, Amtrak serves as the intercity passenger rail service that traverses the U.S.A.  It runs over 21,400 miles of track serving over 31 million passengers annually.

Certainly, we have choices when we want to go somewhere within the contiguous 48 states. The Interstate highway enables us to have full control of our luggage, friends, pets, and so forth. It may also be less expensive than flying to taking the train.

Flying is a major part of our travel strategy. You can obtain there quicker, but you also spend extra time in security lines and through boarding procedures. Not to mention that the lowest fares may get you the least comfortable seats.

Shall I mention intercity buses? We do travel by them to get to smaller towns or for a less expensive, budget-conscious experience going to another town.

Amtrak offers a mixed bag of service and convenience for the travel. While you act get great service on the trains, you will hear complaints about food quality and the train itself. If you stay near a hub where yo
