Edor's note: this post ntas spoilers for episo five of The Whe Lot season two.It's givg SayUncle...After a weeks-long tease, we fally got a gay sex scene on season two of The Whe Lot. In a classic Whe Lot twist, though, a gay sex scene me om somewhere else entirely.Introduced episo three, wealthy gay man Quent (Tom Hollanr) is at the Whe Lot hotel Sicily wh a group of gay iends. Though most of them are rich olr gays, there are a few younger men their pany, cludg Jack (Leo Woodall), a charmg and sexy guy om Essex who refers to Quent as his "uncle."

While this uld jt be a generatnal thg, uld also mean that they aren't at all om the same fay.Sendly, if a rich gay man like Quent were to hire a few younger guys to "enterta" him and his group of iends durg a trip to Sicily, stands to reason that someone like Jack would lie to Portia about Quent beg his uncle, not his "employer." There are other sex workers featured season two of The Whe Lot, and they don't go around sayg exactly what they're dog at the hotel, eher.The entire faial relatnship between Quent and Jack hg on the fact that Jack refers to Quent as his "uncle," but that uld very much jt be a nvenient label to attach to Quent so that Jack n still enjoy his time wh Portia as well. Both feature a character walkg on gay sex behd closed doors, and both occur two episos before the fale.

“There’s a pleasure to me as a guy who is gay-ish to make gay sex transgrsive aga, ” Whe said.
"The gays, they're tryg to murr me. Though we n acknowledge - and appreciate - the urse rrectn of not always featurg queer characters who will only lie, cheat, murr, and steal, is equally jarrg to watch so many movi and TV shows now beg clive of queer people who are only portrayed as perfect ltle angels, heart-wrenchg tragic figur, or Mary Sue The Whe Lot season two's Quent (Tom Hollanr) and his gaggle of rich, olr European gays.

The gays weren't rich eher - they had nothg but an old and yg villa to e as a fa for, The Whe Lot isn't the only mastream TV show wh villao gays, but do feel like the seri ma a pot to highlight what dienc have e to expect om the characters only to then reveal much darker sis to them over the urse of the season.
