Tyrus: Disney Channel's first official gay couple

 It has been a while since I write on this blog and it mostly go to the fact that I speak my mind more on Twitter. Recently my Surface shut down and had to switch the battery and screen. The second, my laptop lost its wifi combability. I'm trying to fix that while I have teaching workshops for work during the summer. Anyway, enough about me...

Andi Mack is/was a Disney Channel program about pre-teens and their trials and tribulations. A coming of age story that was controversial with the bible belt and conservative parents because Andi finds out her sister is really her mother. The show deals with gun violence, bullying, unplanned pregnancy and other topics. Anyway, after three seasons Disney decided to cancel it. No real reason was given. Some suspect it has to do with Stoney Westmoreland (Andi's grandfather), being arrested for attempted sexual liaison with a minor. He was fired and all scenes of him were removed from new episode. I don't think it has to do with the LGBT storyline.

In the last episode "We were here," one of the main characters Cyrus (Joshua Rush) developed a friendship with his friend Buffy''s former bully/rival T.J. (Luke Mullen). Throughout season 3, their storyline is about their blossoming friendship and underline romantic love. The creator of the show Terri Minsky (who also did Lizzie Maguire) says the majority of their storyline was subtext. TJ hung out with Kira, who seemingly seemed romantic but he assured Cyrus it wasn't romantic. Cyrus seemed left out. In the last episode, they are at a party and Buffy tells Cyrus that there is a reason why TJ is with Kira. The reason is not revealed. Kira makes fun of Cyrus' dancing and TJ calls him out and she gives him an ultimatum. He says Cyrus wouldn't give him an ultimatum. This answers her question and she leaves. TJ, Cyrus and gang sing Lady Gaga's "Born this way." Then TJ and Cyrus sit on a bench and Cyrus bugs him to learn his real name. he tells him, Cyrus tells him he loves the name. TJ asks Cyrus if he wants to know any more and it becomes a loop of them asking themselves those questions. And they hold hands.

I only seen a couple episode of Andi Mack, mostly of when Cyrus came out and his interactions with TJ. It is a good episode. I am sad the show ended. I wish we could see the rest of Cyrus and TJ's journey. I did initially wanted Cyrus and TJ to kiss like Buffy and her love interest in the episode. But Terri Minsky spoke about it saying it was appropriate for their story/journey that they touched hands and not kiss. And their relationship was subtext. My perspective of it is that if the show was ending, it was their last chance to go all out and they could have just kissed. The show was already cancelled. 

The future I see is different spinoffs or a reunion movie. When I say movie, it could a TV movie.

• Andi Mack reunion TV Movie on Disney Channel
• Andi Mack reunion TV Movie on Disney+
• Andi Mack mini-series on Disney+
• Cyrus + TJ Spin-off on Disney+

The following are my ideas only, they are not real---yet:

Andi Mack TV Movie

Andi has entered the Art high school and still hangs out with Buffy and Cyrus. Buffy and Cyrus cope with being Andi-less. Cyrus and TJ cope with the relationship becoming public. 

Andi Mack Mini-Series
Same as the TV Movie but more drawn out. A couple episodes like 6 or 8. Andi has entered the Art high school and still hangs out with Buffy and Cyrus. Buffy and Cyrus cope with being Andi-less. Andi struggles making friends in school and makes a new friend who is a girl and Buffy becomes jealous. Cyrus and TJ cope with the relationship becoming public. 

Cyrus + TJ Spinoff (Tyrus)

I think this would be better for Disney + because it wouldn't have the scrutiny of Disney Channel. They could have the Andi Mack TV movie or mini-series to continue her story so this would be the whole focus of Cyrus and TJ. The reason I say Cyrus and TJ, not only Cyrus because TJ wasn't a main character in Andi Mack. We can learn more about TJ and his family. I foresee them having a strong relationship but having some outside influence. Not that all the kids would bully them but there would be people like Kira that might sneer. Also there might be things that take their time like basketball  movie making or what not.

I think the reason "Tyrus" is fascinating is it is the jock/arty kid relationship you rarely see on TV or gay movies. It usually is the bad boy and arty kid or the macho guy and the feminine guy. It is rare to have relationships like that. TJ and Cyrus is just a completely cute relationship.

Homophobic elf in Rise of the Guardians?

 In the upcoming Dreamworks movie "Rise of the Guardians," a male elf kisses another male elf in the trailer. So the one that gets kissed, closes his eyes and punches the other away. Now this is of course out of context but still looks pretty bad. I would have to see the movie to see if the elf just doesn't like being kissed, but I am around kids a lot and they take a lot of trailers in as truth. Some can't afford to see the movie, and only see the trailer commercials. And many kids hit each other. Maybe I am taking this too seriously.

I'm not the only one that feels this way: 

@MicahNR: WTF @dreamworks? A male elf kisses another on the cheek in rise of the guardians trailer then gets punched in the face? #Homophobic #LGBTQ

Brave Miami Dolphin in Ace Venture: Pet Detective

  Ace Venture: Pet Detective (1994) has always been a great comedy to me as it had the Miami Dolphins in it and most of it was filmed in Miami. I am of course from Miami. It also is one of the first movies I heard of the use of Transgenders. But the thing is that Transgenders are shown in a negative light. The villain is one. Anyway, there is a sequence that features Ace looking at the Dolphins, to check which player has a missing stone in a  ring to find the person who stole the pet dolphin. 

 So in the sequence he is in the bathroom in a stall next to a Miami Dolphin and then the player thinks he is looking at his penis. Jut when we think Ace will get beat up, the player ends up to be interested and chases after him, alluding that he was gay.

 So I think that player was Jeff Uhlenhake. If indeed was an ACTUAL Miami Dolphin and not some actor, then that was EXTREMELY brave of him to do so because some people might think it would ruin his reputation. And plus that this was 18 years ago. Times were different. Maybe these days, no player would do it.
