I hope this is the right place to ask. For people with a working knowledge of the UK- I’m sending a parcel of family photos etc from the UK to a distant relative in Oz. They have grandkids aged 7, 8 and 11 and I want to tuck a few British sweets into the package as a surprise for them. What sweets that they can’t get in Australia could I include?
There was a fair bit of chat the other day about Tan’s claim that he had a heated argument with a co-star after being called a traitor for not being out to his family.
Then this recent interview crossed my feed where he lays out his experiences as a child of an immigrant family including growing up believing he would just have to commit suicide at 25 as he wouldn’t be able to get away with being unmarried after that age, also how there was no queer representation in his community to the point that his mother had absolutely no comprehension of what gay could even be. He discusses regularly being beaten up by adult men at the age of 6 for being brown.
He also talks obliquely about being the subject of a “public takedown” and having to deal with perceptions of him having changed due to how other’s views of him being spread “loud enough and wide enough”.
