I Like Mike

The other commentator has NO sense of humor. This short film is ADORABLE as it reveals gay guys being just like any other guys who play ball, chew tobacco, and horse around. It captures the camaraderie of team membership, the great American pass-time, baseball, in a wholesome harmless atmosphere. The absence of anything overtly sexual brings home the point that homosexual orientation is only a PART of life in being GAY. Every person would benefit from seeing this film short by being forced to consider being GAY is not all about naked male sexual activity! Jay Spears is a genius in capturing the spirit of this REALITY, whether anyone likes the reality or not! I would buy this "short" to have in my collection to enjoy again and again.

Far too cute for 1,000 words, this gay-baseball rap video is fun because it has fun. Yes, the words are silly and addictive; yes, the performances are amateur--in the best sense. The whole idea seems to be just putting it out there: we are who we are, the L.A. Batboys, who play, dance, rap and act just like guys on any weekend ballclub. That there is an emotional attraction between lead rapper Jay Spears and the bear-like Mike is just one more bit of reality that is worth celebrating, like a good day at the park and a hot shower after the game. I suppose you can attach all kinds of deeper meaning if you want to delve; my inclination is just to like Mike and all these "guy" guys right back.
