wove a textured and nuanced set of queer narratives that offer a refreshing alternative to tired stories of trauma and cooptation. To mark the series’ release, we spoke with Dunn, O’Connell, and the actors Jesse James Keitel and Devin Way about insatiable gays, sleeping with the wrong people, and embodying the confidence of a mediocre straight white male. –DUNN: I just got to San Francisco.
DUNN: So our show is obviously a fictional tragedy that takes place in New Orleans. One thing that was important was not to show any acts of violence and to root the story in the community rebuilding, and our strength as we fight to find joy during trying times. Unfortunately that is a battle that continues culturally for us right now. We are empowered in new ways, but we are also met with so many new challenges and attacks on our basic human rights.
WAY: My biological mom called me two days ago because she watched it with my six-year-old niece. It really starts with a bang, you know? Well, she didn’t know that. She called me, and she was like, “Devin! I thought I was gonna get to know him first.” Right when that scene comes on, my niece was like, “There’s Uncle Devin!” And my mom had to jump in front of the TV, like, “It’s not him, look away!” My grandma said, “Well, I hadn’t seen you naked since you were little.
KEITEL: I’ve learned most from her confidence. She’s got this really strong sense of self, even when everything is a shit show.Why was it important, Ryan, to show characters, as you say, “living with disability and horny as hell?”
