The following is a preview of an article; the full version can be found exclusively on my Patreon. Unlike my other articles on Medium, this preview is not paywalled. The full article can be found here.

Something I have been trying to do is highlight independent queer media, which isn’t always easy because there isn’t much incentive to focus on it. These articles are mostly a financial loss, and they aren’t viewed highly unless I tie them to a wider thematic discussion (e.g., Queer Breakup Films Are on the Rise (if you know where to look)).

But occasionally, there is a work that I just want to unapologetically talk about, even if I can’t find an angle to dissect it from. One that I have to gab about without doing some heavy analysis.

This is the case with the indie darling My Partner (2023), a MM young adult romance. I really want to gush about this film, so I figured I would make my thoughts on it an exclusive, rather than clog my normal, more ‘academic’ feed.

You’ve been warned. Precede to find some intense gushing.
