This basically talks about the importance of pride, but what really piqued my interest was the use of the name 'Larry Grayson'. Yes, I am a larrie, and a bit delusional one at that. So I instantly thought of Larry.

But no, that's not what I want to tell, I did a quick Google search on this person, Larry Grayson, and found that he was an English comedian who was forced to hide his sexuality. Which led me to think that, we know 'Larry' was the name picked by Louis and Harry when initially the fandom went with 'Halo'. This might be completely delusional and stupid, but what if they chose it by, maybe inspired by this Larry Grayson.

Again, it is just a thought, I might be wrong. But I just wanted to share with you. Have a good time:)

Hi darling. I think Harry and Louis chose “Larry” over “Halo” because it just makes more sense and works with their last names. But more so because in the beginning I don’t think they were giving any thought to being closeted.

However, Larry Grayson is someone the bears famously referenced, so I think even if he wasn’t on their minds originally, he was someone they eventually connected to.

Nolly will be airing in the US on PBS on March 17, 2024.

Mark appears as Larry Grayson in episode 2.

It's a bit generous to say he "stars" given he's only in 2 or 3 scenes, but his name is known some in the US. And he has some of the best lines in the show, as the two bemoan being too old to be popular.

Mark Gatiss as Larry Grayson in Nolly episode 2.

Apparently, some people did not realize Grayson was gay in spite of the camp style of his performances.

It's one of Mark's roles where he's significant to the story, but he's only in two or three major scenes.
