As tough as we may seem (!) most of the Queerguru team are suckers for a wee love story, and they don’t much more romantic than this one. Real-life married gay couple Blake Lee and Ben Lewis got to star and fall in love again in Lifetime’s “The Christmas Setup”. They were convincing enough to be nominated for a 2021 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Movie.
Now they are heading back to the studios together to star in a new CBS semi-autobiographical sitcom Married With Friends. Its an ensemble about a millennial friend group navigating life, friendships, and romantic relationships (or lack thereof) with Arthur and Bo – a gay, married couple, played by Lee and Lewis, – as the glue that holds them all together.
It’s just one step on from gay actors playing gay roles, and one we hope to see more of in the future. Watch this space for more details
