1/? Just finished @screamqueendoc and it caught me off guard. Mark Patton is a survivor. This doc was like a Johnny Cash album-a man who's lived sits down and gives you the hard truth with compassion and strength like steel. So much of this broke my heart. When he said people

2/? Were dying and he was supposed to stay in the closet and just didn't want it, I can't say I was shocked he'd been treated that way but I was flabbergasted. This young guy was talent and a dream and being done like that. I don't get it. I saw noes2 young and the homoreotic

Subtext or text went right over my head. I saw it later, but I still don't see his performance as "feminine". He wasn't Stallone, but neither was Tommy Jarvis. They weren't supposed to be action heroes. The slurs and hatred he got online is so bizarre. He played Jesse, he's the

Guy who fought freddy Krueger. How is that not cool? There seems to be a weird subset that wants to hate these people who give us cool things. We saw it last week with Darcy. Mark Patton is a star to me. Darcy is a star to me. I'd be awestruck by either. What the fuck did either

One of them do wrong? Its been a rough couple of weeks, but the pictures of Patton young really affected me. All I could think about was what he was going through. Tim dying while people sneak pictures, Patton getting so goddamn sick. He was basically a kid. However this sounds

I related to him. I know nothing about being gay and the casual cruelty he faced over it, but I know about being seriously sick. I know about a girl I loved dying when I was a young man and what that does. He had a journal he worked through that looked so much like one I did

When I spent a year bedridden. Through all that he's so gracious. I think the of noes2 really simplified what Patton went through and why. I have so much respect him. Everybody has a story and the line between you and me can fade listening to each other's. And if we're lucky, we

Can learn something from that. I really look up to Patton after seeing this. I love how he lives. It's a tough watch, but it's worth it. I can't believe how damn good this was. Highly recommended.

Typo. I meant to say the director of noes2 simplified what Patton went through and why. He can act and they put him in an untenable situation. He showed integrity walking away. So little respect shown for Tim and Mark and so many others, even in the face of illness and death.
