'The Ultimatum: Queer Love' Operates On A Weirdly Straight Timeline
Huff Post“The Ultimatum: Queer Love” has become a bonafide cultural zeitgeist — partly because We the People are basically starving for queer drama, and we will take what we can get, even when what we get is overproduced and underwhelming. But the weird thing is that even when it’s cheesy, “The Ultimatum” is really making me think about how important it is to protect queer culture — and queer time. This is one of the first times we’ve watched queer people reading the proscribed cis-heteronormative relationship script of “marriage or else” within the context of unscripted drama. But “The Ultimatum: Queer Love” is different in that the people involved are sometimes intermittently aware when they’re playing into cis-hetero patriarchal norms. I just don’t have time for the loose soil of “maybe” when it comes to the foundations of my life — precisely because I take my role as a future queer elder seriously.
