Russell T. Davies to Pen ’80s-Set AIDS Drama ‘The Boys’

Russell T. Davies, who is best known for penning ground-breaking gay drama “Queer as Folk” and regenerating the “Doctor Who” franchise, is set to write TV miniseries “The Boys,” which centers on the lives of young gay men in the 1980s and how they dealt with the AIDS pandemic.

Dramas set in the ’80s, like the recent BBC film “Pride,” which he says is brilliant and he loved, do not accurately portray the reaction of most gay men to the AIDS crisis. “It kind of looks in dramas like we were all waving placards in the streets and besieging [the prime minister’s residence] about AIDS, and barracking our MPs [Members of Parliament] and our doctors. That’s not how it was at all as I remember it,” he says.

“Most of us, as often in life, just stayed very quiet and couldn’t quite believe it was happening. It was the brave few who were out on the picket lines. This is still the case for any issue — most people aren’t on the picket lines. I mean that for myself. I didn’t go out on marches. I didn’t do anything. I actually couldn’t quite believe it was happening. That’s why I need to write this, and I haven’t come to the end of coming to terms with it. That’s what I’d like to do: to find out why I did what I did. I didn’t do anything wrong or bad, but literally I had friends who died and I didn’t go to their funerals, I didn’t write to their mothers. I didn’t do anything. I was young and stupid. I just carried on. I look back now and I’m ashamed of that. And I genuinely wonder why I did that. Maybe you just have to reach this age. The things you have to write just rise up in you. It is not planned, there’s no schedule.”

Although “The Boys” will be a work of fiction, it will draw heavily on Davies’ life and the lives of his friends. It will center on a young woman, based on a friend Davis has known since he was 14, who was friends with many of the young men and cared for them while they were dying. “She sat on the wards and held those boys’ hands,” he says. He describes her as a “hero.”

The drama will avoid the politics of the period and instead focus on the experience of young gay men at the time. “I want to go into the bedsits. It’s called ‘The Boys’ because it’s about the boys. The story of the politics has been told, the story of the marches has been told, the story of the virus has been told. The story of the boys has not been told. The boys are not here, and their deaths were very quiet. There’s a lot to say about that.”

If you have replacement suggestions, please let me know.

It was the only fitness model/bodybuilder blog I knew of that posts regularly and credits all the models/photographers. I discovered so many new guys this way. (I talked to the owner a few times briefly too, and he was really nice.)

I had a date today, it was okay. He was nice, but unfortunately not my jam. Doubt I'll see or hear from him again. No big deal.

I love celibacy anyway

We short guys need love too ;_;

Short guys are hot. One of my very first porn star crushes was on a guy that only 5'4-5'5.

All different heights have their pros. Short guys look super jacked when they're fit. So much muscle packed into a smaller frame. It's really sexy. Usually very limber and agile too.

Brent Corrigan is that short!?

Bleh, gross.

His screen name is Rob Rossi. (Sometimes Robert Michael) He just did solo stuff, but he was (and I think still is) hot as hell. He was the Playgirl Man of the Year once too. (I tricked my friend into buying me a copy. I told him it was for a gag gift at work.)

My friend is crazy. Claims she's bisexual but only when she wants to be Alpha otherwise she's just all femme up player. Only sleeping, kissing or being in relationships with women.

I'm 5'6. The worst.

Although like I've mentioned before I love my men tall so my height makes it easy to check that off the list since most guys are. Lol

Cody Lockheart was adorable as sin. Super lean with this cute face. He did a scene with one guy that was iconic. Course he is done with porn now and i think only did like three scenes anyways XD

I love short guys. I'm 6'1, and the best sexual chemistry I ever had was with this guy who was 5'4. The height difference really worked in our favor. Lol

I'm 5'11".
He's 6'3".

I like tall guys, especially with broad shoulders. Climb 'em like a jungle gym.

(I'm awake because he's coming back home early. I already have a can of Dole pineapple chunks opened-up, haha!)

This picture is interesting; the arms, the cute dog, that curvy chair.

I'm going to buy a house soon and can finally get a dog again which I am really excited about. I think I'm going to get a husky. They are such pretty dogs.

His posture and facial expression in the second picture are cracking me up for some reason. Looking like when you open the office fridge and somebody stole your lunch:
