My Fabulous Gay Wedding

**Raphael** · 2nd June 05, 10:03 PM

My Fabulous Gay Wedding is a new show that hit the Canadian airwave for the first time last night. It is hosted by Scott Thompson and it was definately a funny show.

Last night, Scott and his Minnions were planning a wedding for this gay couple and He wanted to give them a scottish theme wedding. He went to the couple's apartment wearing the kilt, Prince Charlie Jacket and vest. and Yes, he had a bagpipe as well. Apparently, he knows how to play!!!

ALthough the couple wanted to get married in Tux, but the wardrobe consultant dragged them to Hector Russell Toronto for kilt fitting. But One of them wasn't sure about the kilt. He was pleased with it, but once he was told that he doesn't need to wear underwear, he turned around and loved the idea.

The one disappointment of the show is that Scott Thompson managed to get Ashley McIssac to perform at the wedding, but he performed in his pants!!

I am a huge Scott Thompson fan! I would love to see this show...

I will probably have to wait for a DVD release, or my move to New York, where I may be able to pick up some Canadian airwaves!! Very few cable companies carry Canadian TV (what ever happened to SCTV, or KITH reruns)... It is not even easy to get the BBC in my current market..

Sounds like the show is a hoot!!

You are so right about rampant neo-puritanism pervading the USA. Ever since Tom Hanks won an Oscar for Philadelphia, it's been well-nigh impossible to see anything other than fundamentalist Christian images on TV. We have no programs like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Queer Eye for the Straight Girl, Queer as Folk, or The L Word. There are no 8-years-running sitcoms with gay main characters, and there are no gay supporting characters to be found in any American TV program. Any such show that might barely make it onto the air will be crushed by such ratings bonanzas as Revleations. It's just channel after channel of dour, jowly men wearing weird hats with buckles on them.

How fortunate that we have Canadian TV to enlighten us. We should all be grateful.

I will agree with Chasem,

Sarcasm escapes many.....

That was quite a funny show.

I did find it funny that both guys didn't originally want to wear a kilt (there were Scottish roots), as they may have come across as feminine and stereotypically gay. However when both tried on the kilts, they commented on how butch they both felt.

Both of the men looked good in their kilts and represented them well. Let's remember, kilts are for guys in general.

The only reason this show wouldn't run in the US, is because Canada allows same sex marriage, where as the US does not.

Oh? What about "Will and Grace"? I thought that was an American show. It has had many re-runs over here, and has just started another repeat. It is one of the funniest series I have ever seen on TV and has me in fits of laughter every time.

It seems there's a compromise in the works.

From the looks of it, the show described in this thread will be running on Logo on Mondays at 10 (EST). From the advertisement, it looks like Monday's episode will indeed involve a kilted wedding.

However, with a nod to the vast right-wing conspiracy, the show will be titled, "First Comes Love."

I'll likely tape it, and give a review. Like that Jim Belushi show, I'm apprehensive about this one.

You're right Hamish... beat me to it. That's the only one, though. I'm surprised it's lasted as long as it has, honestly.

The only other one was Ellen, which honestly wasn't all that great a show.
