In theorizg masculy and the relatnships which mal mata, is important to regnise the historil nttatn of ‘homosocialy’ (male-male relatnships or ‘bromanc’) as performanc of ‘straight’ or ‘homosexual’ behavur (Corw, 2016).

For example, Lipman-Blumen (1976) first explaed homosocialy as the social preference for one’s own sex, as pared to Sedgwick’s (1985) terpretatn which argu homosocialy as bondg between men, which is always predited by a fear, hatred, and ultimate rejectn of homosexualy.
This, however, do not preclu homosocial sire spanng the whole spectm of relatnships, om the platonic to the erotic.
This nttatn of ‘homosocial’ as anythg other than ‘straight’ male behavur has ntued to the prent day wh scholars divid on the matter (see Clarkson, 2006; Corw, 2016; Kilianski, 2003; Wa & Donis, 2007). The first of the four masculi is: ‘No Sissy Stuff’, suggts a distancg of one’s self om femy, through homophobia, and avoidance of emotns, whilst stigmatizg stereotypil feme characteristics and quali, such as openns and vulnerabily. The male iendships – some of which are portrayed as bromantic relatnships – n be performed wir ntexts such as that of race (Jackson, 2012; Jackson and Wgfield, 2013), but ultimately lead to a stretchg of tradnal mascule expectatns to rporate more homosocial performanc (see Sedgwick, 1985) which are turn more relaxed their expectatns of strivg for, and achievg hegemonic masculy (see also Anrson and McCormack, 2018) we e the Brannon Masculy Sle (Brannon & Juni, 1984; David & Brannon, 1976) this paper we acknowledge that dividuals may not neatly f the mol and that there is some spe for their performanc (Butler, 1988, 1990; Goffman, 1959) to shift or s across the var typ of mascule portrayal.

In terms of this transnal performance of masculy (Butler, 1988, 1990), the termatn of this relatnship shocked many viewers as they took to social media to qutn Alex’s sexualy, wh many paradoxilly labellg him ‘gay’. Here are a few ments ma by the public on a photograph of Alex and Alexandra: “he would rather uple up wh Jack he need [sic] to thk about who he is…”; “I thk is gay… not been homophobic… jt he thk he is tryg to be somethg that he is not… maybe is to one of the guys on the island [sic]!!! Moreover, on a photograph of Alex and Jack embracg bed together ments clu: “for someone that don’t like affectn, you seem to give Jack more than you have to any woman that has give you attentn [sic]… #GayMaybe??
”, and: “I’m 10000% sure he’s gay”. Here, viewers are ridg Alex for transgrsg tradnal mascule norms and dog so nflatg the bromantic portrayal as acts of homosexualy, further srng the ‘Jalex’ relatnship for not keepg wh the already blurred nf of male-male iendships portrayed on the show.
