The last few weeks have Even and Isaac in the TV series Shame engaged people in all of Europe. The story of a syttenåring and a nittenåring that is nyforelsket, that is. With all the uncertainties it brings with it.
“Would certainly have had it easier as a 17-year-old”
the Series is undoubtedly important for the LGBT community, who rarely see themselves on TV. There are far too few queer love stories. Far too few romantic comedies, TV-series and novels tell other stories than the heteronormative: if the man falls for the woman and hurrying to get her and then live happily with her for the rest of your life. Or vice versa. What then if one dreams about something else? How can you avoid to feel a bit off? What role models have really queer youth?
As a writer, Søren Peter Knudsen writes in Danish Vice: “If the Friends [...] had indeholdt of Isaac, and the story, so had I absolutely haft it suffered nemmere as a 17-year-old. Der sidder a lot of young drenge derude, who really have brug for his story.”
Desperate Italian fans
In the weekend was also https://twitter.com/hashtag/skam
one of the most used emneknaggene on Twitter in Italy. Someone had made a YouTube channel with English subtitles, and thus made the series available for several.
the Canal was closed by the BBC, followed by a lot of desperation from the fans, but not earlier than that many already had a relationship to the series.
the Youth all over Italy shared updates, photos and videos about the “As” – a name composed of the Even and Isaac.
They need “As”
An Italian girl called Ingrid, created Twitterprofilen the Shame of Italy. When I asked her why Shame committed, she replied that it is difficult for Italian gays to come out of the closet because they are not being accepted by friends and family. And that they lack the movies and TV shows about gay couples.
There, she has probably right. In our was Italy the last western european country that made it legal for gay couples to marry, but without the fundamental rights stebarnsadopsjon.
Italy is also one of the few EU countries that lack laws against discrimination on the basis of sexuality outside of the workplace. These bills will be voted down every time they proposed in parliament, well bejublet of the catholic church. It is no wonder that the Italian youth need As a little extra.
Fucking Åmål
To Isaac, and Even has contributed to a generation of young people feel more at home in their own gender and their own sexuality, there is nothing other than amazing.
When I was in high school, played the Fucking Åmål, Swedish Lukas moodysson’s next a love story about two girls, the same role. Even though I was reasonably safe on my own “heterosexuality”, it was good to know that there were fine options.
no Matter who you are in love with, is with or is married to, is none of us earned with fastspikrede gender roles. It creates more insecurity than security.
We know us again in the nyforelskelsen
The main Skams season 3 is that it tells an alternative homohistorie, where it is to be queer is actually not a terrible fate you have to learn to live with. For it is typical. Every time we actually get queer love up on the screen, is it as the problem.
you Must believe a total euroamerikansk entertainment industry, most homosexuals kill themselves, be converted, or in any case to overcome a whole bunch of inner demons before they maybe, and just maybe, find love.
Even, he says to Isaac, that he is not sad. While the fans fear the disasters in the comments section, has really Even and Isaac had a quite pleasant and friendly to now.
the Uncertainty is there, but it has been universal. There is the same uncertainty that most have been nyforelskede teenagers have felt. We know us again in the. We get a pain in my stomach when Isaac does not respond at Evens messages. And we want to be 17 again and lie on the bed in the dorm room and kline with someone we are in love with.
Homosexuality avmystifiseres
With Shame has serieskaper Julie Andem done something so unique as to create a universal love story that is regardless of gender and sexuality – a Romeo and Juliet for today’s high school students and all of us who were once like them.
With the success she and the NRK to demystify homosexuality and make love to the important topic, without making the frames around it too narrow.
It is a story we all should be thankful for, and that is going to live on long after the series is over. Not least as a model for how young lives can be built. And as one of the few queer kjærlighetshistoriene that was finally told.
