Exclusive: Check out the trailer to the steamy–and scary–new series “The Third”
Streaming service Dekkoo has just dropped the trailer for its latest series and also proved it does not fear controversy.
The Third follows a lonely 29-year-old gayman named Jason, (Sean McBride) who decides to enter into a relationship with an older Palm Springs couple Carl and David (Corey Page and Ryland Shelton). Carl & David’s marriage has hit the rocks, and when they discover Jason, they see a means to spice things up. As the three become determined to make their triad relationship work, a cauldron of jealousy, secrets and anger begins to brew.
The Third aims to examine the need for gay role models, the role of sex in long-term relationships and the universal need for love with its own mix of drama and eroticism. Can a three-way relationship work? Is it healthy to even try? Can someone getting involved with a couple actually find love? Or are they just a new toy?

He spent 20 years peddling “ex-gay” therapy, now he says it was all ‘a lie’
McKrae Game spent 20 years promoting “ex-gay” therapy and was once considered a leading voice in the conversion therapy movement as head of Hope For Wholeness, a homophobic hate group that claims to help people “discover a way out of homosexuality.”
That is until June of this year, when he came out as gay. Now, he says he’s disavowing his former organization and hopes to undo some of the damage he caused.
“Conversion therapy is not just a lie, but it’s very harmful because it’s false advertising,” he tells the Post and Courier in a new interview.
51-year-old Game, who now identifies himself as “former ministry leader know-it-all,” goes on to call the whole “ex-gay” thing “a lie” that has “harmed generations of people.”
“We’ve done wrong,” he says. “We need to admit our wrongs and do what we can do to stop the wrong from continuing to happen.”
“I was a religious zealot that hurt people. People said they attempted suicide over me and the things I said to them. People, I know, are in therapy because of me. Why would I want that to continue?”
In a Facebook post from last week, Game adds:
At one time I was working with so many youth that I had a weekly youth group, where they’d share why they were there, and I would guide them in how to not be gay. What a sad commentary of my past verses today, or a bad joke as many may see it. I believe all of these young men are now out/gay and one that I worked with for many years is married to a man and living in San Francisco. I hope to catch up with him. I believe I’ll message him today. Hopefully he’ll not be too angry with me. When the reporter asked me if I’d like to see Hope for Wholeness shut down, I said I’d like all exgay ministry and conversion therapy counselors and organizations shut down. I told him I believed the only positive and productive use for HFW and exgay ministry is for those that believe that homosexuality is incongruent with their faith, to receive and have a community of like minded people so that they can live healthy lives, and in the end that was what I was trying to do. Today, I’m thankful to have it all behind me.

Netflix recently dropped a sequel to the 1982 film The Dark Crystal and fans are impressed at the series’ casual inclusion of gay dads. The detail is revealed as the show’s heroine Gelfling is leaving the Caves of Grot for the first time and refers to her parents as her “fathers.”
Nathalie Emmanuel, who voices Deet, spoke to Metro about the show: “It’s an escape from the real world, but when you have the more grounded everyday shows, people we can see that as being real life and can relate to it. ‘We can reflect society and people’s issues back to them. It’s nice to have a spectrum of genres.’”
