I’ve only recently found Schitts Creek and have fallen in love with it. I really like the relationship between Patrick and David and think it might be my favourite representation of a gay couple on TV ever.
Who are your favourite couples on television and film?
Jack and Tom, who gave us our first gay kiss on national TV in Ireland: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=6fAE9HPA588
When was that aired? It looks nineties or maybe eighties?
Also I feel bad for not realising this but I didn’t know Gaelic was spoken enough to have television shows made with it. Assuming they were speaking Gaelic and I’ve not just made a right fool of myself! I thought it was something people were trying to keep alive more than using as their main language.
It’s very early nineties if I remember right. The Irish language, which is called Gaeilge here, is a Gaelic language.
You’ haven’t said anything foolish at all. In fact, you’re right that people are trying to keep it alive. It’s just that many people speak it every day too as their primary language. Our TV station is at https://tg4.ie if you’re curious about what a modern broadcast looks like.
Thanks for the information! I’ll check it out 😊
