Gays train

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

The Gay Train takes a thoroughly good proceed at diving headfirst into the way that Transgender lives are presented in the media and the devastating consequences. In a world of P*ers M*rgan purposefully silencing the Gender non-conforming Rights movement and framing it as healthy debate, even when it evidently is not, this considerate of theatre is urgent and important. In proof, the aforementioned gutless misleading demagogue is the victim in writer Andrew Lake’s crosshairs, as we observe non-binary activist Lin meet up against a TV host more interesting in clickbait than coherence.

Lin’s story is tragically prevalent in society – a Transitioned person physically attacked for expressing themselves. In the wake 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 spot Lin try and defeat 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

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

This was the first line from a jingle that encouraged travelers to travel 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 occupied control of our luggage, friends, pets, and so forth. It may also be less luxurious than flying to taking the coach.

Flying is a major part of our travel move. You can receive there quicker, but you also allocate extra time in security lines and through boarding procedures. Not to state that the lowest fares may procure you the least comfortable seats.

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

Amtrak suggestions a mixed bag of service and convenience for the travel. While you do get wonderful service on the trains, you will hear complaints about food quality and the train itself. If you inhabit near a hub where yo

Gay on a Train

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

Okay, let’s commence 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 unused experience. I can roll with that. But what if he wants to sleep with me? How about that?

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

Yeah. I’m rethinking that. Huge 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 arrive with me now on a journey through time
To when he moved to London, neighboring the Northern Line

I was going down to Balham
When somebody said Let's proceed to Clapham
And spot the Gay Pride 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
