WHY GAY GUYS LOVE THE '300' MOVI

300 and s sequel 300: Rise of an Empire have h the sweet spot Amerin culture, occupyg the veted space where straight du-bros, neons, and flagrant homosexual men meet. This article is om the archive of our partner blood-soaked Greek epic 300 and s new sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire, have h the sweet spot Amerin culture, occupyg the veted space where straight du-bros, neons, and flagrant homosexual men meet. Straight dubros love the rawr of war and fns spiratn ("300 workout" ntu to be a very popular Google search), but for gay guys, 's one of the guiltit of pleasur.

Here's why:The Biggt Reason: the Mcl and the Dus the Mcl Are Attached ToWhat a neon se: Warrrs preparg to fend the Wt (Ameri) om barbarians om the EastWhat a du-bro se: Some Persians about to get a gay du se: Heaven.

ZACK SNYR'S 300 SEQUEL WAS A GAY LOVE STORY FEATURG ALEXANR THE GREAT, BUT WB WANTED NO PART OF IT

But we're not gog to prive ourselv of a movie anchise which provis sewy almost-naked men, jt to prove Symbolism and Insi JokWhat a neon se: Warrrs preparg to fend the Wt (Ameri) om barbarians om the EastWhat a du-bro se: Some Persians about to get a gay du se: Sorry, I'm way to watch 300 is to kd of pretend 's seepg subversive symbolism (which may or may not be), and you're the only one who gets (you're not). And there's somethg funny the thought that theaters all throughout Ameri, legns of straight men will be crammg to theaters to watch all of this homoeroticism — whether they're aware or Hey, ThemistoklWhat a neon se: Really good-lookg warrr preparg to fend the Wt (Ameri) om barbarians om the a du-bro se: Some Persians about to get pwned by a really good-lookg a gay du se: A really good-lookg man, though he isn't sure if he wants to sleep wh him or jt look like him.

)A Gay-Friendly Pot HistoryWhat gay history buffs like to tell you is that there was a lot of homosexualy ancient Greece. There was a lot of olr-younger same-sex relatnships Athens (which you may have read about llege), and Sparta's ary, men fed homosexual bonds wh one another. "At Sparta, for example, the separatn of the sex at an early age, together wh attus peculiar to other Greeks on the role of women, rulted overtly homosexual relatnships centerg on life the barracks, " an Amerin ary historian and scholar wrote his book The Wtern Way of War.

A THIRD 300 MOVIE WAS PASSED ON AFTER IT BEME A GAY LOVE STORY

Unfortunately, you won’t be seeg that movie anytime soon, bee when the Army of the Dead -wrer/director tried to wre a 300 sequel, he end up penng a gay love story featurg Alexanr the Great; which Warner Bros wants no part there was the entire bacle over Jtice League and the planned Snyrverse, Zack Snyr and Warner Bros. Passed on bee beme a gay love story stead of a fully actn-packed war film. Bh-era Ameri, and yet, apparently ’s still impossible to make a succsful big-budget war film that doubl as a gay romance.

So was wh great excement that I disvered a movie ma jt for me -- 300, which is probably one of the gayt movi of the last .

" That's where the "hard" Spartans will get ' you know jt how gay *300 *is. I mean, how different do the Spartans really look om the homo beefke picture on the right there?

10 REASONS WHY "300" IS GAY

That was an open homophobic sult a settg where gay sex wasn't out of the ordary.

HOW GAY IS "300"?

By pictg the Persians as dark-skned aggrsors who wear tonn of jewelry and are clearly groomg their body hair much more elaborate ways then the "macho" Spartans, wear make up and actg an effemate way the film achiev a double-whammy: racism and homophobia one neat package. What mak this horrible realisatn - that is this film is havg all the negative them - almost funny is how homoerotic the film is at the same time. Totally gay, acrdg to this still-tglg viewer:I ught 300 last night and thought I'd pass on my thoughts.

Those who try to nstct the movie to a statement on the current war, or who say that is racist or (most glargly wrong) anti-gay are utterly missg the pot.
