The Fabulous Beekman Boys

I highly suggest that everyone watch The Fabulous Beekman Boys on Planet Green. It is about a gay couple, Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge, who bought a farm in the country with goats, chickens and a llama. They grow their own vegetables and make soap and cheese from the goat's milk. The show is about how Brent has left his career as a doctor to stay at the farm while Josh stays in the city until the farm can sustain itself and both of them. The stories of their love and sacrifice to make their dream come true is so heartwarming and fun. I love that it is a show that doesn't have to rely on being trashy and vulgar and I can't wait to see each new episode to see what the boys will be up to next. My favorite part of the show was when they were splitting wood and Josh started talking about Mommy Dearest and Brent didn't know what he was talking about and Josh says "Are you gay?", I guess you kind of have to see it to understand how funny it is but just thinking about it makes me smile and giggle to myself. I have been doing a little background investigating and have discovered that Josh is a best-selling author and advertising executive who was a drag queen in the 90's (how cool is that?!). Brent is a doctor and worked with Martha Stewart on her Healthy Living magazine. While Josh stays in the city and works, Brent lives on the farm full time handling the soap and cheese sales and now opening a new store. I find this to be a fascinating show and I would highly recommend it anyone.
