After Bilal found out that Omar is gay, he kissed Omar, but Omar phed him away. Bilal ma a homophobic ment about Rebeka and Js. It piss At a football game, a fight breaks out the football gam when homophobic fans and Cz's supporters class, g the game to be ncelled.
Later, while leavg his hoe, Cz is regnized by homophobic fans who beat him to ath. That is all great and good, but why are there so few gay mal?
It is not that we have enough queer girls, but sce Rt sudnly ma Irelia gay, they uld very well have ma Yasuo or Swa or Vladimir to boys as well. When they recently add Zilean to LoR, they uld have ma him gay as easily as they ma Irelia. This issue mak me thk that Rt se girls as more advertisable bisexual/gay characters, and this disgts me.

I began watchg this show expectg your typil young adult high school drama, but ltle did I know there would be so many steamy gay storyl that left me sweatg. This sexy, bge-worthy seri follows the liv of three, low-e stunts who receive a scholarship to La Enca, a top preparatory school attend by Spa's show is by no means created specifilly for LGBTQ dienc, but do arguably have two strong gay storyl.
Days later, the two began chattg anonymoly through a gay hookup app (not Grdr, but pretty siar) which rulted Omar immediately fleeg the scene, embarrassed after regnizg Anr. Anr, the whe middle-class son of La Enca's Dean, was more willg to e out and was immediately accepted by his iends and parents, the latter whom saw as a posive opportuny to bee the first openly gay tennis player to w the French Open.
