Jim Parsons and the Non-Practicing Homosexual | The Brooklyn Rail
Jim Parsons and the Non-Practicing Homosexual | The Brooklyn Rail
There’s an increasingly antiquated term for gay people who don’t have sex: a non-practicing homosexual. Increased LGBTQ+ acceptance has made the term something of a relic, however its spirit endures in the career of openly gay star Jim Parsons. The characters Parsons has played, on stage and screen, reflect larger questions about which ones audiences can expect to have sex—and, sometimes, how fully human they are allowed to be.

Joel Kim Booster: "My biggest critics are gay men"
Joel Kim Booster: "My biggest critics are gay men"
He cut his teeth being a “bombastic, sex-forward” stand-up. He made a name for himself with a modern (and very gay) retelling of Pride and Prejudice. Still, Joel Kim Booster is figuring things out when it comes to queerness, race and masculinity.
JR: Why do you think there’s pushback from within the gay community? JKB: There’s just not enough representation. But I’ve never claimed that Fire Island reflects the universal gay experience. It was my personal story. If people don’t see themselves reflected, they should support other voices or create their own work. I think there’s often a lot of misplaced anger — especially when the media promotes something as, like, “finally, a movie for gay people”.
