The massacre that becomes a focal point of this series is complicated, as the show quickly establishes that it has a strong moral stance on profiting off queer tragedy, yet frequently uses it to propel its plot and characters forward in a way that doesn’t always appear genuine. The show is quick to say what is right and wrong, but then exhibit some problematic behavior.

In the first episode, Brodie meets Mingus, Fin Argus’s high schooler trying to enter their first drag show, when they have a sexual encounter in the bathroom before the shooting. It is soon revealed that Mingus is a minor, and Brodie is not, and almost everyone in the show brushes it off. Sure, the character turns 18 during the first season, but do we really need another show with a minor having sex with an adult?

This murky area of consent is explored more with Brodie and Julian, when he hires a sex worker to help his brother with cerebral palsy get laid. Julian, understandably, gets upset when he finds out he only had sex with the super hot man he met in the bar because he was paid to do so. However, not a single conversation about the consent of it all is ever really had, and the very iffy situation is kind of forgotten about.

When Noah, played by Johnny Sibilly, is shown to have a meth problem early on that is exacerbated by the shooting and death of his boyfriend, it simply goes away after he confesses his usage, not addressing the serious party-and-play problem in the queer community and brushing over what seemed to be a serious addiction based in trauma.

Things don’t seem to have improved between Chanel McFarlane and Mustard. More than a month after Mustard filed for divorce, the mother of three is seemingly leaving the family home behind. Instead, Chanel has opted to secure her first spot and keep it pushing!

“New chapter, stepping into my blessings,” Chanel wrote on Instagram Story. “This is the first time I have my own spot y’all.”

The post was a house key attached to a ring and coiled stretch band. This is the second time Chanel has broken her silence following Mustard’s divorce filing.

“Thank you for the kind words, thoughts and prayers. Anyone that followed me or knows me personally knows my family means the world to me,” Chanel wrote following the divorce news. “I’ve dedicated 12 loyal years and it is more than heartbreaking to see things end.”

In the paperwork, Mustard listed the exact date for the separation and the day of filing. He cited “irreconcilable differences” in the paperwork. However, he later took to social media to clear Chanel’s name amid infidelity rumors.

“It’s one thing to have my family business on the internet and of course, I initially didn’t respond cause I don’t owe the public no explanation but I do owe my family to clear these false narrative[s] that @ChanelDijon cheated that’s out and never happened,” Mustard wrote on IG Story.

Mustard also shut down rumors that infidelity happened on his end. He denied a circulating story about sleeping with his stylist. He wrote, “I’d never touch that girl ever.”

The former couple was together for about 12 years but tied the knot only in 2020. This means their divorce comes only after a year-and-a-half. They share three children–Kiylan, Kauner, and Kody.

It’s unclear if the divorce has been finalized, but that one thing about it, Chanel has existed left–for now!
