SHOWTIME'S HOUSE OF LIES: ¿HAVE YOU SEEN IT?


I watched Showtime's new show House of Lies and must say that I was entertained. However, what entertained me even more was the fact that there’s a gender variant child.
 Marty’s son Roscoe (played by the exuberant and adorable Donis Leonard Jr.) likes to wear girls clothing and wants to play Sandy in the school’s production of Grease. While Marty is confused — not wanting to push his son away, but not really knowing what to do with a cross-dressing pre-teen —he goes to bat for the kid. After Roscoe gets the lead of Sandy in Grease, a teacher calls to say another student’s mom has complained about a boy getting the role. Marty shoots back at her, “He wants to sing 'Summer Nights' and wear a poodle skirt. Now Britney Kaufman's mother can't stand it that her little baby isn't getting every goddamn thing she wants so she's off on some kind of gender witch hunt.” He later tells Roscoe’s less than involved mom that the kid is “experimenting with different modes of gender identification.” What makes it all compelling is that we see Marty (generally) trying to do the right thing by Roscoe. So is Roscoe gay? Transgender? Or just playing around the way kids should be allowed to do? We know as much as Marty does but, based on episode one, it’ll be a fascinating journey watching Roscoe
