'GRAND ARMY' EPISO 4: SID'S GAY STORYLE LACED WH STEREOTYP NOT AS FLHED OUT AS JOEY OR DOM'S ARCS
But Sid Pakam's story has been clunky and laced wh stereotyp, om the very first episo, om his reluctant teractns wh girliend Flora, to the nversatns wh his tradnal Indian fay png their hop on their male 'heir' rather than Meera their dghter, to now, his gay inty. So, he also his 'I'm gay' rd the most cynil e of mory crentials yet on the show. We never see his anxns around his inty or even a reactn to the at boys of his swim team who equently crack homophobic jok.
Sid is shown to be an ultra-ut guy, focsed and prepared, even jammg his door before jackg off to gay porn. Season 2 is likely to explore Sid’s sexualy and his buddg romance wh Victor, and the homophobia he may face at the hands of some of the stunts. Ahead of today’s global lnch of Grand Army on Netflix, The Queer Review’s edor Jam Klemann spoke exclively wh Amir Bageria about takg on the role of Sid, the rearch he did cludg talkg to his olr brother who is gay about g out, and his love for Brokeback Mounta and Frank Ocean.
One of the thgs that stck me is that the high school is set up as not beg a homophobic environment, bee there’s a bisexual character who’s already out and we see that he’s largely accepted, so seems like Sid’s reluctance to e out is more to do wh thgs gog on his own life, faial expectatns and maybe his own feelgs about beg gay.
