I binge-watched the new season. Eric and Adam had a fairly prominent storyline throughout the season, with Rahim popping up towards the end of the season. There was a very minor plot in episode 4 for Anwar and his boyfriend (I keep forgetting his name, but it's the same actor who played Robert's stepson Lachlan in Emmerdale). There was a longer exploration of whether Jackson could acclimate to being in a queer relationship with his new love interest, whose pronouns are they/them. And Dex was very naked in episode 1. (The latter has nothing to do with LGBT+ representation, other than being eye candy.) Thomas Atkinson.

So Adam and Rahim are getting together in season 4, right?

If they go there, they go there, but that would be the end of the line for me shipping Eric and Adam, and that's what I was watching for. I'll always be Team Eric first though, and I won't see him punished for being turned into the villain like he has for being made to defiantly break 2 hearts over 2 seasons for the drama, by having these same 2 guys, one of whom bullied him for years, turn around and date each other so he can be hurt and jealous and regretful. So if they go there, I'm noping out. And plus, Adam is canonically a bottom (for the lolz), and that felt wrong to me too. Rahim can have him. You can't tell me Eric hasn't been dreaming all his baby gay life of his dream top man, only to end up the big spoon for Adam. But even besides that, I just don't even think the characterization is there for it to make sense between Adam and Rahim. Adam is in no place right now to be able to give his heart to anyone else any time soon, and Rahim is wise enough to know that and how far Adam still has yet to go and would only want to offer support. And also, I don't find them romantically compatible. The show made a point of how Eric and Adam connected over their humor and loud personalities, and Rahim is quite introverted and reserved. Next season, I would see the story more being focused around them all thinking about their adult futures given Moordale's pending closing, and they've got Adam's budding dog handler career and redeeming Michael to him so he can come out to his father and resolve the thread of that bad relationship. As for Eric, I see Maureen paying him a visit to let him know she knows lol, and I also see Rahim giving Eric Adam's poem. I think we could end up getting Rahim being a champion for their relationship bc he's that person on the outside that can see how much they still want to be together. Eric has to realize that maybe he was just feeling panicked about Adam's current limitations.
If they're really over though, we still better get to see Eric happy. I'm just very disappointed and maybe a little in shock over where it went this season.

I agree with you but this is sex education they probably establishing a polyamorous relationship between the three of them for next season

I saw some on Twitter saying they hope Rahim and Adam hook up because that will teach Eric. Never mind that Adam bullied Eric for years! I guess that isn't enough payback. The toxic lessons these Netflix shows teach younger viewers concerns me.

Well, we will find out if they're right or not since they've been renewed for season 4. (I personally think Eric even dating his bully was a more harmful trope.) http://instagram.com/p/CUQHEL0lnKL

The toxic lessons these Netflix shows teach younger viewers concerns me. To be fair Adam bullied Eric but not Rahim, so they being a couple makes way more sense than Eric chosing Adam over a really nice boyfriend. The problem with the writting is the need of make everyone a couple. They could write a good storyline for Adam making him realize his behaviour and making him a good person in the proccess, but of course they wanted a couple with the bullied guy. And in this case is specially bad because the bullying was pretty intense and Eric feared Adam for a good part of the first season (and that was enough for his decission of dumping Rahim for him making no sense). I think there's a tendency to pair the bullied and the bully on gay storylines. That's not accepted when it comes to straight couples, of course that's recent and people loved their rapist/victim love stories for decades. The worse part is fans seem to love this kind of storylines. In my oppinion it's way easier to make the love/hate storylines when you chose rivals or antagonists instead of a bullying storyline. It's way easier to digest and makes way more sense

This was obviously the last season. Kinda glad it's over. They fucked up with Eric and Adam. Anwar and his boyfriend were probably this show's best gay characters yet they barely got any screen time. Heck, Eric and Adam didn't get much screen time. I don't even have to mention the fact that once again the lesbian sex scenes were more explicit than the gay sex scenes. Last but not least, and what is unforgivable to me, is that this show is promoting breast binding, which is actually harmful. Lots of impressionable teenage girls watching, thinking breast binding is healthy, when it's the opposite.

Have I read it right, the actor of Eric, Ncuti Gatwa, is the new Doctor Who! Congratulations! 👍😊
Sorry I don't find the Doctor Who Thread, and I don't really know is there one?

I think most of the Dr. Who discussion (what little there has been) is in the Torchwood thread here: gaydaytime.proboards.com/thread/104/torchwood. I can change the thread title to be "Dr. Who and Torchwood" if needed.

If he gets a male or female companion on the site.

Wow. Good for him. I read Russell T. Davies is returning as show runner as well. This could be good becuase he is the one who brought captain Jack Harkness into the Doctor Who universe.

That could be helpful, but so far we don't know, which sexual orientation has the new Doctor. If he gets a male or female companion on the site. The Doctor thus far has only ever been interested in women, regardless of the gender presentation of the character. I don't know if you can categorize the Doctor as genderfluid, because they, so far, have identified with the sex of the body they regenerated into. The Doctor is currently a woman uses she/her pronouns and has a clear romantic interest in her female companion . My assumption is that when she regenerates into Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor they will identify as male, but I doubt those feelings for his current companion will go away so quickly with regeneration. It took 32 episodes for confirmation of the Doctor's interest in Yas, and now she's regenerating. That's a long winded way of saying I don't think the Doctor will have male love interest, but their gender is complicated. Whether that's worth including in the discussion in the Torchwood thread I don't know.

Given the change in producers and the long delay between series I won't be as surprised if Yas is mostly forgotten. I think they have winked and nodded about the Doctor's sexuality at times (I could swear at one point they implied he was previously a woman and bore a historical figure's child), but I may be confusing that with fic or something.

Let's not discuss Dr. Who anymore in the Sex Education thread.

I'm ending the third season and i love this show and its complete craziness.
I find it incredibly funny and well acted but to be fair the strong point of the show is the unlikely friendships between some characters and not the couples.
Eric and Adam never made too much sense (and Otis was clear in his opinion about the couple). Adam have a very interesting evolucion arc but dating the guy who he bullied was not a good idea (and it's difficult to understand that someone will chose Adam over Rahim, to be honest)

Ncuti Gatwa has finished filming season 4 of Sex Education and confirmed it is his last stint as Eric. If the show returns for a fifth season, he won't be part of it. http://instagram.com/p/CoalRYsojeg

Wow, this season sucked. It was the least gay season of the entire show.
Spoilers ahead:
It was all about the trans characters, including a VERY explicit sex scene. The trans sex scene was a lot more explicit than all of the gay male sex scenes. Isn't it funny how the trans and lesbian sex scenes are always more explicit than the gay sex scenes? I knew adding trans characters was bad news for the gays. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad for trans representation, but I disagree with taking time away from gay characters and I disagree with making their sex scenes more explicit. It's wrong and offensive. Adam's storyline this season was awful. He's just as miserable as he's always been. Eric at least got a love interest, even if it wasn't Adam, but his storyline was more about finding God and less about finding love. Don't even get me started on how they wrote off Anwar, who was my favorite gay character. Fuck this shit. I'm pissed.
As I said: this season sucked. I'll give it 2/10. It was THAT bad.
