When he spoke about being raped that really hit home with me,it’s happened to so many friends of mine and it’s just sort of accepted and it’s always the young guys it happens to 😢

Easy money, but at what cost

For those who have trouble with the accent, search for “Limmy’s World if Glasgow / Xander”. This will help you familiarize yourself with the patter.

I'm sure this is fascinating. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand 9/19th of what the lads said. Subtitles would make this more accessible and more productive in terms of knowing what the lads' lives are like.

Accent proved a challenge, but what i got waa that david and kammy were thoughtful, resourceful kids with a great sense of humour and insight

God bless you both,jesus christ loves you both.been there.

Native Glaswegian here. Glad you two are doing ok, I remember reading an article many years ago about the issues raised by this film. Keep safe and well. Best wishes to you both.

Leviticus 20:13

documentary producers are sociopaths. they always seem to double cross or use people they feature. And surely the Glaswegian LGBT community should be more supportive of sex workers, especially as at that time people often had no options. 1990s Britain was pretty homophobic and the support for gay youth at that time was pretty scant, compared to now.

i would not like to have to sell my mangina for money.

Ordinarily, I'm very adept at understanding all sorts of English-language accents, but this video REALLY, REALLY needs captioning. It's almost impossible for some of us to understand at least 50% of the spoken words in this video, and my friends and I are all native English speakers.

Hope these poor little lads are doing fine now. It’s endearing to see even just at 15 years of age, they both have the Scottish sense of humour that we are known for! Utterly appalling that they were both just kids and were manipulated into into doing this programme and revealing their identity on television for all to see. F*** the producers of this for putting these young lads into such a dangerous situation! 🤬

Are there sub tiltles i cant understand a word they are saying??

Respect bro

Bellissimo so well-spoken, for today's standards they would be models or something...Also I'd like to know the track IDs Splendid tunes

Good luck to you lads.

You are braver than some any of the rich guys i know who have it all on a plate. I have the greatest of respect for you. X

Where are your parents boys? Shouldn't be homeless and selling your body.

Betty Bee needs to go! The young lad had more empathy and talent. I hope you both find happiness!

Wish there were subtitles 😞

heard liam neeson used to do rent boys in england couple of yrs after his wife died

You can tell this is an old documentary due to phone booth. Back in the mid 80's Ft Lauderdale FL had a cruise park for lads. These days there are phone apps for hook-ups, plus anti drag these days in the news. Coming from single parent home @13 I became a newspaper boy @15 was washing dishes to earn $ @19 U.S. N a v y

Is that Betty B ( the drag queen host ? )

I wish you both good luck in both your futures stay strong don't let anyone put u down. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ sorry for the crap that u have both been through always be there for each other .

Oh , I find it so hard to understand the verbiage.I wish I could understand the way they speak English here.

No different to nyc and the stonewall riots film

I just came across this video through a very good close friend of mine. This is really sad to learn about the boys in the video, I have had a bad life myself for several years different reasons; lost one family member to cancer and I am lucky to be alive today if it wasn’t for my dad who has sadly died from health issues that were not able to get treated as too dangerous and very complex. These film makers treat us all like a heard of cattle in doing so they don’t care about us and our feelings just viewing figure ratings. It would be nice if they could give them all of the moral support they needed. I have been in the past few years with a volatile partner who had controlled me and due to their actions I went missing in Edinburgh for 24 hours once. At the time I was not able to speak out about how I was feeling or going through. I do hope that they are okay after the film makers manipulated these really cool guys and managed to move on from this horrible ordeal

You two remind me so much of my best friend David and myself when we were 15. We became homeless and ended up hustling for money. We did very well. I am 62 now, and I have been out of that business for many many years. I turned out fine. I did what I had to do to literally eat. Now I am very well off. I own a million dollar home, new Mercedes and tons of $$ in the bank and investment accounts. My only advice is to stay off the drugs. Treat it as a business. Be smart. ❤️❤️

Also to clarify, if your drink is spiked, it is rape. I came out in the mid 80's in Canada, my first 4 teen partners were paid by men to have sex. This is not a failing of individuals trying to get by, this is a failing of our society. Manipulated by the program could be all our epitaphs.

I'm glad you are both well .TV companies are only interested in their ratings not the people they interview any story to make them money I was once your age homeless but I was abused but I survived I used to be in the toon at night like you .but now I'm an old dude now .take life day by day and try and enjoy every minute of it al the best to you both xx

I have nothing but respect for you two young men.. I'm so glad you are doing okay ❤ You have to do what you have to do to survive in this life. 70 year old woman here and 20 years sober. I wish you well.

And thier are college students that do it to get college payed for. And extra money that thier parents cant pay for

This happens a lot alot of kids even as young as 10 have been taken and dropped off on the street disowned because thier parents refuse to have a gay kid in thier family. Some run away from home because they have been tormented ..beaten because thay come out as gay. Lots get picked up by pimps and druged beat snd forced to have sex for money and the pimps get the money

Many are thrown out at a young age but there have to be options. I hope they are taking PrEP because HIV still has no cure. They risk their lives. There must be LGBT assistance resources that can help them. It breaks my heart that they are on the street and suffering.

I'd love to know how both guys are doing?? I was the trawling one haha around 99 2000. Wonder when this was made 🤔 looks the same time frame

Can't understand a word of it.

No judgement. All the best.

Not very attractive rent boys at all

It all just kinda happened now we blow bubbles n fight slims

I had read that, of all the UK accents, the one of Glasgow is the most difficult for the North American ear.. Puzzled, I wondered why. Now I know why. I wanted to view this film in a game serious way.

This documentary would be VASTLY improved with subtitles. Did the makers really think that the rest of the world would be able to understand these thick as molasses Scottish accents? REALLY?

This is not new!! I knew straight young men who did this for money in the 80s and were groomed by a creepy middle aged man. Rough childhood and crappy dead beat dad.

Great footage. Thank you for sharing this. 👍🙏

Lei que este documental es falso solo se aprovecharon de la inocencia de estos chicos que tenian la ilusión de salir en TV pero fueron engañados y convirtieron su vida en un infierno, espero que esten bien en la actualidad, en esa apoca no habia nacido yo, pero me cuesta creer lo crudo que puede ser la vida para dos jóvenes tan pequeños. Vi otro documental de unos chicos pero de República checa, pero sus destinos son inciertos, me preguntó: ¿Que fue de ellos? igual espero que esten bien.

This was before the fkn gentrification of Glasgow City Centre, when there was a vibe about the place! It's all bistros and bars instead of the clap an hep c 😂😂

I was a rent boy in Glasgow , george square . But that was in the 80s .

I feel sad watching this. These lads are human beings. They were exploited in every way.
