Sources for Somerton's Plagiarism from Hbomberguy's Video (as much as I could get)

I went back through Harry's video, focused entirely on the sources James Somerton pulled from in the hopes of creating as much of a comprehensive list as I could--though my Google-Fu is not very strong. I did however find something I thought was forever lost and that made me very happy--specifically the magazine Midlands Zone containing the column by Steven Spinks that Harry poignantly used as an illustration of gay erasure... while Somerton uses it to sound like HE is waxing remorseful about the very subject.

This is not a complete list, I'm sure. For one thing, I was only able to attempt to pull sources that Harry himself mentioned in the video. Surely there's so very much more out there. I expect there to be a great deal more internet archeology to unearth just how much writing and culture Somerton has stolen like he's the British Museum of Natural History but for gay people.

Harry's list of mentioned youtubers:

Harry created a convenient playlist of videos by these and other people he wants to bring to everyone's attention.

Please give them your support.

Midlands Zone Magazine - Column by Steven Spinks

After a great deal of searching, I found an archive of the "Midlands Zone" magazine, where you can read through past issues dating all the way back to February 2014. I have also found the issue from which Somerton took Spinks' poignant discussion of gay erasure: Overall archive Specific Issue - Pages 16-17

It will not allow you to download it, but you can read it exactly as it appeared in print form.

My best effort to find the exact book or article Somerton lifted from to be able to get attention to the original writers

I refrained from including certain sources.

First off only focusing on Somerton's work.

Secondly not including anything that might be visible enough to not require amplifying their voice (I cannot speak for all of those I have found links to, but journalism is frequently a thankless job).

Thirdly any source that is of a nature that is antithetical to the very existence of the queer community, such as the right-leaning source that didn't make it into Somerton's video, but Harry was able to identify as a source he had considered using.

If you feel I have missed a mentioned source--or you know of a source from material that was not covered in Harry's video--please do not hesitate to reblog with added details.

Please share this information far and wide, and please add to it if you find more material that can be positively identified and linked to the creator/writer.

yes, yes, things turned out alright, we got La Cage Aux Folles as a musical and The Birdcage as a film, but I just learned that apparently, if he’d gotten the film rights instead of just the rights to the play in the late 70s, Allan Carr would have tried to make a US film version of the story with Lemmon and Curtis.

can someone please transport me to a parallel universe where that happened?

#ollie's log #https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozTjoeHy7mI&ab_channel=MattBaume #that's the documentary where I got this from #I want to live in a world where lemmon and curtis played this #adding them to the long list of my faves who've had a part in some iteration of the story #well I'll definitely have to rewatch la cage - this time in french #and then finally get to the birdcage... #la cage aux folles

Dazzling the Enemy: Behind the Scenes of The Birdcage and La Cage aux Folles

Premiered Feb 19, 2023

The movie The Birdcage had a long, strange journey to America's big screen. To tell that story, we're going back in time to a French royal palace in the 1970s, where two comedians created a gay farce called La Cage Aux Folles ... then we'll meet a trio of revolutionary American artists mounting a nearly-disastrous Broadway spectacular in the 1980s ... before landing at a struggling movie studio in the 90s that gambled big on putting two gay dads in front of a deeply skeptical American audience. Get ready for the story of the writers, actors, and producers who carried a comic misadventure over decades and continents to show the world the true meaning of family values.

48:50 It's a small moment and a small part of this video but Robin Williams stepping in and deflecting Oprah's question to keep Nathan Lane from having to choose between outing himself and lying almost made me cry. I know how terrifying and isolating it is to have to keep your identity in the closet for safety, I can only imagine how intense those feelings would be having to confront it on live television. In the moments after the deflection when Robin adjusts the way he was sitting to face towards Nathan and has his arm behind his chair I could see him silently communicating: "you're not alone, I'm in your corner and we're getting through this together."

[sincerelyxsinister]

I watched a video about queer-coded Disney villains and why LGBTQ+ fans love them, and how close current era Sinister fits into that mold. Like I’m talking about Gillen’s Uncanny X-Men from 2012, Hickman’s Secret Wars 2015, HoX/PoX, Wells’ Hellions etc. Perhaps one can argue the Claremont era. Not EVERY version of Sinister ever written however I’d consider queercoded. This current era Sinister, very much so. I just don’t feel I’m the right person to delve into that, being a cis bi gal. 

Anyways here’s the video! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsWpUSEKSbk&ab_channel=MattBaume

#basically watching this video made me examine how current Sinister is being written and how similar he feels #to Disney villains who are very well known to be queercoded #I dunno I get it's not great with a character like Sinister and his history #but also can't ignore it either?
