The uproarious cast of Gogglebox Australia recently shared their candid reactions to two significant LGBTQ-centric shows, offering viewers a unique glimpse into the world of gay dating and the journey of a transgender former AFL player.
I Kissed A Boy, a BBC series hosted by Dannii Minogue, has been the talk of the town since its UK debut earlier this year. Australian audiences finally got their chance to indulge in the dating drama, as it made its streaming debut on 10 Play this month. The Goggleboxers wasted no time in sharing their hot takes on the show, from the boys’ introductory smooches to the dazzling outfits at the Pride Night party within the Italian villa. One of the gay Goggleboxers, Tim, couldn’t contain his excitement, exclaiming, “How many times have I said, I wish there was a gay dating show?” While Kevin, another member of the cast, astutely observed, “I think every version of gay is represented here.” As the show unfolds, it’s clear that “I Kissed A Boy” has captured the hearts and attention of both LGBTQ and mainstream audiences alike.
But the entertainment didn’t stop there. The Goggleboxers also turned their attention to Danielle Laidley: Two Tribes, a documentary series available on Stan. This docuseries chronicles the journey of Danielle Laidley, a former AFL player and coach, as she bravely shares her highs and lows on her path to living as her true, authentic self. The emotional rollercoaster includes Danielle’s public outing as a trans woman by the police and her touching reunion with two former teammates on the footy field. Her story resonates deeply within the LGBTQ community and beyond, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs of transgender individuals.
As the Goggleboxers continue to entertain and enlighten, it’s clear that these shows are not only making waves but also sparking important conversations surrounding LGBTQ representation and acceptance. “I Kissed A Boy” can be streamed on 10 Play, while “Danielle Laidley: Two Tribes” is available now on Stan.
